Greater Victoria sits on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains. Garry oak meadows and camas prairies, arbutus forests, salmon creeks and the shores of the Salish Sea are parts of one living system.
Regenerate Victoria is the Greater Victoria landscape group of Regenerate Cascadia. It looks at the region through a bioregional lens, treating its questions as connected parts of that system rather than separate issues.
