Turtle Island Bioregional Congress

Turtle Island Bioregional Congress 11
Sept. 15-19, 2026
Cascadia: Vernonia, Oregon
https://www.tibc11.earth/

The eleventh Turtle Island Bioregional Congress builds on five decades of bioregional organizing and ten earlier continental congresses in North America (1984–2009).

 This 2026 gathering rekindles a tradition of learning in place, celebrating our cultures, and coordinating for long-term regeneration. What happens here will set the stage for place-based resilience in the years ahead.

The purpose of the Congress is to amplify the wave of bioregional organizing across the continent for increased community resilience, Indigenous leadership, local self-governance, climate action, ecological regeneration, and a flourishing future for all life.
