Cascadia Movement

The Cascadia Movement

One bioregion, organizing to live well in place.

Cascadia is a bioregion: the land and waters of the Columbia and Fraser watersheds and the Pacific high coast, defined by nature rather than political borders, and the movement of people caring for it: chapters, topic groups, and stewards working watershed by watershed. This is the movement’s home.

Bioregionalism

Bioregion means life-place. Bioregionalism is the practice of organizing culture, economy, and care at the scale nature actually works: watersheds and the communities who live in them.
