The Department of Bioregion is a 501(c)(3) social movement and capacity-building nonprofit organization, founded in 2019. We are dedicated to advancing bioregionalism, the idea that social, economic, and political systems should align with natural boundaries rather than arbitrary borders.

Our mission is to research and develop bioregional frameworks and tools, regenerate our bioregions, and cultivate the conditions for place-based movements, cultures, and ways of living in place to thrive. We believe the people who live in a place are best suited to lead in caring for that place.

This section introduces our mission, team, and how to reach us.
