How do we regenerate an entire watershed, ecoregion or bioregion? What are the processes that need to be held as we explore these questions, and how do we get people supported who are doing regenerative work, as part of a whole system vision and plan?
We are inviting landscapes to host a community invitation if they would like to learn more about what we are doing. This starts with a simple conversation for your landscape or community which is a small presentation, followed by a community discussion to identify who might want to work with Regenerate Cascadia moving forward.

Regenerate Cascadia is an online and in person network of regenerative projects, communities and organizers to reinforce work happening on the ground, grow bioregional governance; and celebrate our unique stories, autonomy, and context of place.
Our mission is:
“to regenerate the Cascadia bioregion and to create the conditions for a regenerative culture and movement to thrive”.
We educate about Cascadia, Bioregionalism and Bioregional Mapping. You can find more information about some of the basics here:

Take action to Regenerate the Cascadia Bioregion as part of our 501(c)3 network as a Regenerate Hub, Guild, Project or Cascadia BioFi.
Regenerate Cascadia is a 501(c)3 nonprofit program of the Department of Bioregion and is a social movement and capacity-building organization developing a vision and framework to administer a regeneration fund for Cascadia, a bioregion located along the upper Pacific Rim of North America stretching down the continental divide from Southeast Alaska to Cape Mendocino in Northern California, traveling down the Rocky Mountains and as far east as the Yellowstone Caldera, and in the west, extending off the coast along the Cascadia Subduction Zone.
It is our goal to develop watershed and bioregional-based frameworks that can provide a viable and positive alternative to existing power structures. To accomplish these goals, we believe in bioregionalism, a grassroots approach to ecology that uses natural boundaries to reinforce sustainability, community self-determination, and regional self-reliance.
Regenerate Cascadia was launched in April of 2023 by Victoria artist Clare Attwell and Seattle organizer Brandon Letsinger. They were the recipients of the 2023 Salmon Nation Edgeprize: Systems and Governance Grant.
After months of planning with 100+ local community organizers on both sides of the Canada-US border, they partnered with the Design School for Regenerating Earth to co-facilitate a month-long Bioregional Activation Tour. They traveled to 14 communities around Cascadia during October 2023, hosting presentations that asked, “How do we regenerate the Cascadia bioregion?”.
They met with more than 1000 individuals, including Indigenous knowledge keepers, regenerative leaders, groups, community artists, and elders across Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia through presentations, workshops, site visits, and strategy sessions. This was followed by an online summit that brought together 50+ presentations in a ‘Festival of What Works’ and concluded with an Open Space Unconference from November 3-12, 2023, where participants cocreated working groups for Regenerate Cascadia.
The vision resonated strongly with many communities across the bioregion. In each place, we asked: “How do we regenerate an entire landscape? What do people need to be supported in this work
