Regenerate Cascadia

Regenerate Cascadia is a long-term vision and process that works with on-the-ground communities to design and implement new frameworks of governance, ecology, and economy for the regeneration and health of our bioregion.

Cascadia Department of Bioregion has partnered with Design School for Regenerating Earth and Regenerative Communities Network to build an events based movement for Cascadian bioregionalist focused on weaving place-based networks. These events will encompass workshops, presentations, discussions, and community connection through on-the-ground and hybrid connections. Regenerate Cascadia has emerged from the eight weeks we spent in the Edge Prize immersed within a community of Edgewalkers.

Bioregional Activation Tour

We have invited the Design School for Regenerating Earth to join us for a month-long “Bioregional Activation Tour” throughout Salmon Nation, being hosted by the Cascadia Department of Bioregion and local on-the-ground activation teams to set the context, scale, and scope of their work. Each stop will feature community workshops, mapping, presentations, problem-solving discussions, framework development and groups will engage a diversity of audiences, from schools and universities to policy leaders, environmental groups, as well as the general public.

Cascadia Bioregional Summit

In partnership with Regenerative Communities Network, our “bioregional activation tour” will culminate in a hybrid Cascadia Bioregional Summit, held over 10 days throughout Salmon Nation. Groups will converge to share their envisioning from local activations. Proceedings will be documented and provided to participants in the form of videos, blog posts, and print newsletters. As part of this, we will co-create a website for the activation tour and summit, and use QiqoChat, a tool designed for OpenSpace gatherings, for the summit itself.
