A company structured by Nature

Our offices are set up by bioregions—areas that share physical, ecological, and cultural attributes.

Nature is neither confined by political boundaries nor limited in scale. The same is true of our work.

Our offices are defined by bioregions rather than political boundaries. This allows us to focus on local values and concerns, specific ecological and biophysical processes, and place-based solutions. But bioregions do not exist in isolation. They connect and overlap. Following Nature’s model, our offices connect and collaborate. And as we learn from one another, you gain the collective knowledge and experience of all of our bioregion offices.

Bioregion Offices

Chesapeake/Delaware Bays

Spanning from the Appalachian Highlands to Atlantic Ocean, the Chesapeake/Delaware Bays Bioregion lies within a 77,600-mile drainage area. It is home not only to one of the world’s largest estuaries, but also Biohabitats’ headquarters. Our whole systems approach to restoration ensures that our work positively impacts the project site, as well as the health of the Bays and their surrounding communities.

Cascadia

Stretching along the Pacific Northwest from southeastern Alaska to northern California, from the Pacific coast to the Continental Divide, the 750,000-square-mile Cascadia Bioregion includes the world’s largest temperate rain forest zone. Its lands and waters are home to wolves, salmon, orcas and other iconic species deeply connected to the ways of life of many indigenous communities and to the cultural, ecological, and economic well-being of the entire Bioregion. The region is also known as a leader in advancing sustainability in the built environment. Habitat restoration and the protection of clean water are central to our work here.

Great Lakes

Home to the largest group of freshwater lakes in the world, the Great Lakes Bioregion extends from the southern edge of the Niagara escarpment into eastern Wisconsin. With topography carved by glacial flows, the bioregion contains a broad diversity of upland and lowland habitat susceptible to drought and wet cycles. Driven by regional passion for its unique waterbodies, as well as legacy impacts of industry and agriculture that defined the region for centuries, a robust network of dedicated agencies and organizations is improving ecology and water quality in the bioregion. We are honored to partner with many of them.

Hudson River

The Hudson River Bioregion flows from highly urban areas to sweeping highland within glacial fjords, and features ecosystems ranging from mixed temperate forests to coastal plains and marshes. In highly urban areas where constraints associated with historical land manipulations exist, we apply innovative approaches to restore ecological function. In less developed areas of the bioregion, we pursue conservation and enhancement.

Ohio River

The Appalachian Mountains and the Cumberland Plateau meet in the Ohio River Bioregion, where the climatic transition from humid continental to subtropical areas contributes to the region’s rich ecological diversity. This Bioregion primarily focuses on impacts to the Ohio River and its tributaries, in a drainage area that spans 15 states, includes 16 ecoregions, and supports more than 160 species of fish. Nature-based solutions for communities in this Bioregion are nuanced to respond to a diversity of political, social, and ecological conditions.

Southeast Atlantic

Sweeping from the barrier islands of the Carolinas to the eastern edge of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, the Southeast Atlantic Bioregion encompasses a wide variety of ecosystems, including marsh habitats. Draining to either the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico, the watersheds of this region support a broad diversity of life… and human livelihoods. Its municipalities—which include many coastal communities—face challenges ranging from rapid urbanization, water pollution, and environmental injustice to sea level rise and increasingly frequent storm surges. Our nature-based solutions aim to enhance biodiversity, climate resilience, water quality, and justice wherever possible.

Southern Rocky Mountain

The Southern Rocky Mountain Bioregion extends from the Big Rivers field office in Missouri westward into Utah. It serves as a regional hub for Biohabitats, and its staff support projects throughout the West. Given the breadth of the region’s biodiversity, topography, geography, precipitation, and climate risks, the team here focuses on strategic conservation planning, restoration, and adaptive management related to climate change (including fire regimes), while making every drop count with water management to support and balance natural system functions and human needs.

Northeast Highlands & Coastal

The Northeast Highlands & Coastal Bioregion’s diverse geography spans mountains to oceans, traversing a glaciated terrain that includes sub-alpine, temperate forest, inland wetlands, rivers, and coastal ecosystems. New Englanders embody a spirit of independence and self-determination that permeates all forms of organizations. Biohabitats brings a nuanced approach to the Northeast by applying innovative natural and nature-based solutions to match the diversity of political, social, and ecological conditions.

Southwest Basin & Range

Situated at the convergence of multiple ecosystems, including the Rocky Mountains, Chihuahuan Desert, Great Plains, and Colorado Plateau, the Southwest Basin and Range Bioregion is an arid, yet diverse landscape rich with land-based prehistoric, historic, and modern communities that bring unique understandings of the value of water. The Bioregion is the homeland of many indigenous communities, and we work with and learn from the land and people to inform and inspire our broader work with integrated water strategies here and beyond.
