This poem is written by a servicemember who is a Gulf War era veteran, served as both enlisted and officer in the US Army National Guard, and after a break in service due to an injury, continues service in a State Defense Force
Linking Food Motivations with Therapeutic Outdoor Recreation Outings for Veterans
Outdoor recreation continues to be utilized as Alternative Complementary Medicine among veterans and others who have experienced trauma. A popular subset of these activities are conducted as either single event or multiday outings focused on hunting and fishing. Observations of participant interest in processing and preparing the fish and game procured while engaged in outdoor recreation outings provoked initiation of a survey conducted among com…

Oyster Spat and Live Oaks—Memories
Biological memories consist of the biological or genetic material needed to recolonize an ecosystem. They are the remnant populations of plants and animals that civic ecology stewards use to restore broken places. If an organism like an oyster becomes extinct—its biological memory forgotten—restoring that species, alongside the important functions it contributes like food, filtering contaminants from water, and protecting fragile coastlines—becom…
Expanding Peace Ecology: Peace, Security, Sustainability, Equity and Gender
This book has peer-reviewed chapters by scholars from Australia, Canada, Germany, Japan, Mexico, and the USA that were presented to the Ecology and Peace Commission (EPC) of the International Peace Research Association (IPRA) in November 2012 in Japan. The chapters address these themes: Expanding Peace Ecology – Peace, Security,Sustainability, Equity, and Gender; Two Discourses on Global Climate Change Impacts:From Climate Change and Security to …
Greening in the Red Zone: Disaster, Resilience and Community Greening
Creation and access to green spaces promotes individual human health, especially in therapeutic contexts among those suffering traumatic events. But what of the role of access to green space and the act of creating and caring for such places in promoting social health and well-being? Greening in the Red Zone asserts that creation and access to green spaces confers resilience and recovery in systems disrupted by violent conflict or disaster. This …
The Absence of Wild Game and Fish Species from the Usda National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference: Addressing Information Gaps in Wild Caught Foods
We highlighted gaps in nutritional data for wild game meat and wild caught fish that have a regulated harvesting season in New York State, and examined the possible role that wild game and fish play in current trends towards consumption of local, healthy meat sources. This project is part of larger study that examines family food decision-making, and explores possibilities for leveraging the locavore movement in support of consumption of wild gam…
Seeing the forest for the trees: Hybridity and Social-Ecological Symbols, Rituals and Resilience in Postdisaster Contexts

Positive dependency and virtuous cycles: From resource dependence to resilience in urban social-ecological systems
Urgent Biophilia: Human-Nature Interactions and Biological Attractions in Disaster Resilience
This contribution builds upon contemporary work on principles of biological attraction as well as earlier work on biophilia while synthesizing literatures on restorative environments, community-based ecological restoration, and both community and social-ecological disaster resilience. It suggests that when humans, faced with a disaster, as individuals and as communities and populations, seek engagement with nature to further their efforts to summ…
Applying the Environment Shaping Methodology: Conceptual and Practical Challenges
In 2007 the authors presented a view of planning to confront the challenges for post-conflict and developing environments called Environment Shaping. In 2008, under contract to the US Army Corp of Engineers, the authors and their colleagues set about advancing the Environment Shaping concept into a detailed but practicable systems-based methodology and process for ‘real world’ planners in a project called Stake-Holder Asset-Based Planning Environ…
Resilience in learning systems: Case studies in university education
In this paper, we address the challenge of translating the concept of resilience into effective educational strategies. Three different cognitive dimensions (ontological, epistemological and axiological) that underpin assumptions held about the nature of nature, the nature of knowing and the nature of human nature are identified. Four case studies from higher education in the USA, The Netherlands, Sweden and the UK are presented, which illustrate…
Stewardship, learning, and memory in disaster resilience
In this contribution, we propose and explore the following hypothesis: civic ecology practices, including urban community forestry, community gardening, and other self‐organized forms of stewardship of green spaces in cities, are manifestations of how memories of the role of greening in healing can be instrumentalized through social learning to foster social–ecological system (SES) resilience following crisis and disaster. Further, we propose tha…
Agricultural knowledge in urban and resettled communities: Applications to social–ecological resilience and environmental education
In light of globalising trends toward urbanisation and resettlement, we explore how agricultural knowledges may be adapted and applied among relocated people. Although indigenous and related forms of practice‐based knowledge may be temporarily lost as people adopt commercial agricultural practices and switch to non‐agricultural livelihoods, they are capable of resurfacing when contingent opportunities arise. This contribution to the collection dr…
Greening in the Red Zone: Green Space and Disaster Resistance, Recovery and Resilience
Keywords: commentary, community gardening, community gardens, development, ecology and environment, botany and plants, urban anthropology
Applying a resilience systems framework to urban environmental education
A growing body of literature on community gardening, watershed restoration, and similar ‘civic ecology’ practices suggests avenues for integrating social and ecological outcomes in urban natural resources management. In this paper, we argue that an environmental education programme in which learning is situated in civic ecology practices also has the potential to address both community and environmental goals. Further, we suggest that civic ecolo…

Environment-shaping: An Alternative Approach to Applying Foreign Development Assistance
Development assistance has a chequered past, in large part because planning for development assistance is historically such a fractured enterprise internally, and so disassociated from development assistance recipients ’ assets and needs. The authors of environment-shaping offer an alternative development programme planning methodology that highlights above all else the ever-important relationship between development assistance and the environmen…
Serpents, Sainthood, and Celebrity: Symbolic and Ritual Tension in Appalachian Pentecostal Snake Handling
Intense media coverage of Appalachian Pentecostal-Holiness serpent handling sometimes causes a switch in signifier/signified relationships. The snakes used symbolically in this practice are grounded less in traditional religious meaning, and more in a certain recent secular meaning: from signifying faith in the Holy Spirit to indicating the value of celebrity status. This phenomenon is analyzed in a framework of theories about symbols and rituals…
