Bioregional learning: in-person and online opportunities
Your region needs your unique skills and passion. Whether you have 5 minutes or 5 hours, there are meaningful ways to contribute to the work being done by BLC and practitioners around the world to bring local networks into being, share information and know-how, design solutions and take action together. We collaborate with scientists, artists, ecologists, researchers, NGOs, companies, academics, students, economists, storytellers, educators, funders, community groups and inspired individuals to do this work.
