The Bioregional Bulletin blog is an interactive discussion oriented news forum.  It is a complete archive of all of the Bulletin’s past and current content, and like all community driven websites these days, it is in constant development  After our slow&steady start over the last couple years, we are planning a kickoff celebration.  In the meantime, we’ll keep adding articles.  Explore the Bioregional Bulletin using the menu on the right, click here for an introduction to this website, or see how you can get involved.

Here’s our latest broadside. Print it out and post it somewhere.

5th Annual Northeastern Permaculture Convergence - ‘Permaculture in Practice’
Join permaculture enthusiasts, practitioners and educators from throughout the northeast for the 5th annual regional northeastern permaculture convergence in East Montpelier!

Local food, music, beer; on-site camping; and some of the most inspired company you’ll find in the region set the stage for an amazing fourth of July weekend. Additional tours of community-based permaculture-inspired homesteads and businesses will precede the convergence on July 1-2. Additional details coming soon.
