One participant stood up and replied: “Let us all be imperfect, with you.” That moment of vulnerability brought the group together and became a lasting reminder of the importance of mutual support.

At a Transition Hubs meeting in 2012, a facilitator found herself guiding a group through a difficult moment. Feeling overwhelmed, she admitted she had little experience and was afraid her proposal would be imperfect.

Intergenerational Eco-Cultural Mapping: Co-Designing the Future with Young People
Eco-cultural mapping offers a collaborative way for communities to explore, understand, and care for the places they call home. Rather than simply documenting the physical features of a landscape,…
000
Transition Network International @transition-network.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
Perhaps the biggest lesson from eco-cultural mapping is to resist rushing toward solutions. Remember the past. Understand the present. Build relationships. Then imagine the future together.
100
Transition Network International @transition-network.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
Young people aren't simply being asked for their opinions at the end. They're participating throughout the process: researching, observing, mapping, monitoring ecosystems and learning how to make decisions collectively.
100
Transition Network International @transition-network.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
All of this will eventually inform the future map: a shared vision for what happens next at Heartwood. The idea is simple but important: don't decide what to restore before understanding what was there, what is there now, and why change is needed.
100
Transition Network International @transition-network.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
Then they turned to the present. Ecological surveys, camera traps and sound recorders helped document current wildlife and habitats, while interviews and observations captured how different communities experience and care for the land today.

Transition Network International @transition-network.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
To explore the past, they looked across deep time: from geological formations and ancient settlements to the Industrial Revolution. For the more recent past, they collected oral histories from people who had lived or worked on the land.
100
Transition Network International @transition-network.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
At Heartwood, the process unfolds over three years: Year 1 → Past Year 2 → Present Year 3 → Future Rather than jumping straight to solutions, young people first spend time understanding how the land, and our relationship with it, has changed.
100
Transition Network International @transition-network.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
Eco-cultural mapping brings together different ways of knowing a place: scientific and ecological knowledge, historical research, observation, oral histories and lived experience. But making the map is only part of the process.
100
Transition Network International @transition-network.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
How can we make decisions about the future of a place without first understanding its past and present? At Heartwood, young people and the wider community are using eco-cultural mapping to do exactly that. 🧵
