We work for an independent and regenerative Cascadian bioregion as part of an interconnected world of bioregional movements.
Cascadia is the name of the land given by the people who live here and a bioregional movement to empower every person to be active about what they care about.
The Cascadia bioregion sits on the east coast of the Pacific Rim, defined through the watersheds of the Columbia, Fraser and Snake Rivers, stretching all the way from Alaska to northern California, as far east as the Yellowstone Caldera, and for as far as the salmon swim.
The Cascadia Department of Bioregion is a non-profit organization and social movement. We work to protect the things we love, grow a positive regional identity, increase the independence and autonomy of our bioregion, reverse harmful colonial mindsets and policies, and grow a network of bioregional movements around the world.
Cascadia is your movement! Join us.

Ambassadors
For the first time in more than 15 years, bioregionalists from across North America are coming together to plan a Continental Bioregional Congress — a gathering of organizers, artists, land stewards, and community leaders from across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. If you know of a good site - make sure to recommend it using the survey by April 8th!
A day to celebrate the unique dynamism of our bioregion and movement.
To Celebrate Cascadia Day, we are inviting anyone that feels so moved to share a picture, poem, song, story or short video in this thread that helps to share something of the essence of this amazing place we call home.
