Bioregion Definition

What is your bioregion? Your bioregion is the overall web of life where you live. Its physical structure. Its geology, climate, seasons, landforms, watersheds, soils, and native plants and animals that frame your life. It includes the culture that has evolved from living in relation to the physical frame of where you live. Local foods, music, celebrations, clothing, customs, indigenous words.
