text: 2000, Marilyn Sifford, "Issue-Oriented Future Search: Creating a Frame," Future Searching No. 19, Summer/Fall 2000.
The planning committee spent a great deal of time exploring the idea of a regional “cultureshed.” Cultural heritage does not usually begin and end at city, county, or state borders. As a watershed is based on the natural flow of rivers and streams, the concept of a “cultureshed” encourages us to rise above institutional and geographic boundaries to take an eagle’s eye view of the region and its history.
text: McKibben makes the great lake a hinge that binds the long lands on either side of it into a “cultureshed” bounded not by the cartography of politics but by his own deep knowledge of it. He’s not implying there’s some commonality of civic style or taste; .... What frames his vision of this stitched-together territory — “Adimont? The Verondacks?” — is the spirit of innovation and respect some people are bringing to its use.
