The Eleventh Turtle Island Bioregional Congress

September 15-19, 2026 | Cascadia: Vernonia, Oregon

The Turtle Island Bioregional Congress (TIBC11) is a five-day continental gathering taking place September 15–19, 2026 at Camp Cedar Ridge in Vernonia, Oregon. It brings together approximately 300 place-based organizers, land and water stewards, Indigenous and non-Indigenous leaders, artists, and community members from across Turtle Island to grow relationships, share knowledge, and take collective action for the living world.

TIBC11 is the eleventh in a lineage of continental bioregional congresses stretching back to 1984 — and the beginning of a new chapter, one that centers Indigenous leadership and the wisdom of those who have always known how to live well in their places. At a moment when old structures are failing and people are hungry for something real, the bioregional movement offers a path rooted in place, community, and the long-term health of the land and water we all depend on.
