Regenerative Farming, Forests and Food Systems Alliance (RF3)
We focus on nature-based solutions that actively remove carbon from the atmosphere and store it in healthy soil and forests, because stopping fossil fuel emissions is not enough to address the climate crisis and restore ecosystem balance. We support regenerative eco-agriculture, forest protection, biodiversity, and a healthy, just, food system with the goal of working in harmony, with nature, to improve the health of the planet and all living beings.

Racism, White Supremacy & Climate Justice
We see climate change and racism as deeply interconnected. We are learning about these connections, sharing our learning, assisting all CAN groups to bring a racial lens to their work, and assisting CAN to build alliances with people and groups of color, so we all can work together for climate and racial justice. This group meets once a month. If you are interested in this working group, please contact: Russ Vernon-Jones russvj@gmail.com
Monthly Gatherings
CAN holds monthly general gatherings on the 4th Monday evening of the month at 7 pm. Our gatherings usually start with a presentation, and then we break out into smaller interest or working groups. Please see our home page or facebook page for the latest info on meeting content and location. All are welcome.
We are continuing to gather via Zoom, including our small breakout groups.
