Introduction
A World of Bioregional Movements
The Department of Bioregion researches and promotes bioregionalism, a grassroots approach to ecology that emphasizes sustainability, community self-determination and regional self-reliance.
We build place based movements that build greater understandings of bioregions, promote place appropriate technologies and policies, provide direct funding for community projects, and support the creation of centers to determine the carrying capacities and regenerative frameworks for each watershed and bioregion we live in. We believe the people living in a place are the best suited to take the lead on issues affecting that area.

What is Bioregionalism?
Bioregionalism is a vision of a future that works for people and for the Earth.
Bioregionalism is a movement, an ethic and idea that has been growing for more than four decades, using natural features such as mountain ranges, and rivers as the basis for political and cultural units, rather than arbitrary lines on a map. Nature acts bioregionally – and more than ever before – the ability to act regionally and globally in an interconnected fashion has never been more important.
