Bioregions and Bioregioning
A bioregion is more than a map line or postcode. It’s a living place defined by nature — by rivers and coastlines, by soils and forests, by the plants, animals, and people who live there.
Bioregions cut across political borders. They remind us that we belong to watersheds, valleys, and coastlines more than to county lines. A bioregion is home ground.
Bioregioning is the practice of learning to live well in our place. It means asking:
- What feeds and sustains life here?
- What stories, skills, and traditions belong to this land?
- How can we meet today’s challenges in ways that fit this place?
Bioregioning is both remembering and imagining. Remembering the deep time of cliffs, forests, and fields. Imagining new ways of living and working that keep life thriving into the future.
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” — (The Summer Day, Mary Oliver)
Why it matters?
TerraCirca exists to bring people together around these questions. We support bioregioning by:
- Hosting talks, workshops, and walks rooted in the landscapes of South and South West England.
- Creating space for projects that reconnect people with land, history, and community.
- Offering coaching and circles where members explore how to live and work in tune with their bioregion.
- Building a community that learns from local ecology while sharing ideas across regions.
Our places extend from the Jurassic Coast to Dartmoor’s granite, from Somerset’s wetlands to the oak and birch of the Atlantic rainforest, these shape who we are and how we can respond in times of change.
