Welcome Regenerate Greater Victoria

We’re thrilled to welcome Regenerate Victoria as a new Landscape Group in the Cascadia BioRegen Program – Greater Victoria. With deep roots encompassing the Greater Victoria area on southern Vancouver Island, within the Olympic Mountain rain shadow.

The Victoria Landscape Group has developed several key partnerships and more to come. Using bioregionalism as a lens, the group fosters interconnected aspects of one living system rather than separate issues, offering a bridge between Indigenous governance systems that have always been place-based and contemporary movements seeking alternatives to failing nation-state models. Stewarded by Darren Zal and Polly Orr, we are excited to see the Victoria group face the unique challenges that require bioregional solutions.

You can support their work directly and help seed this landscape’s regenerative future. To learn more — or make a tax-deductible donation directly to this group — click here to go to their dedicated page!

As part of the BioRegen program, within Regenerate Cascadia, the Greater Victoria Landscape Group can receive tax-deductible donations, apply for grants, and coordinate collaborative projects within our wider bioregional movement. Your contribution through Regenerate Cascadia helps seed the regenerative future that this group is cultivating.

About the Author

Drew Alcoser

A systems thinker, grounded in emotional intelligence. Using a nature-based lens to understand the uncertainty that we human-economically based fellows are experiencing. I am a Gen-X enby, transplant from Los Angeles, arriving to Portland in winter 2019. I recently moved 50 miles north to rural SW Washington. My work centers in Portland, but I also do forest advocacy work locally in Cowlitz County. My interests are visual communication; all-art, particularly visionary-- and zines, and solorpunk expressions. I love writing and finding the niche story for segmented audiences. My gifts are of the communication stack-- a convenor, digital media and branding storyteller, fundraiser, grant writer, outreach conversationalist, facilitator. I am trained as a climate advocate with a national organization. My dream is to buy a few acres of wooded land, build a passive-climate hempcrete home, install a wind turbine and solar and raise hens. I have a worm phobia, so hopefully I can support a local permaculture community with time swaps! I want to get into trail-biking. I long for the days of longboard skating, excellent L.A. sushi, and mingling with live painters after a 4am show at a dimly lit diner in Silverlake.
