The Department of Bioregion is the fiscal and organizational home for a small group of place-based projects and bioregional gatherings working across Turtle Island. Some are fiscally sponsored projects we hold in trust, carrying their finances, compliance, and back-office administration so their organizers can stay focused on the work on the ground. Others are partner organizations and continental gatherings we convene alongside.
Each project keeps its own identity and its own website. Visit them to see the work up close, and support the ones you want to help grow.
