Living Thames brings people, organisations and projects together to strengthen the relationships that enable this place to be healthy, resilient and to flourish.
What is a bioregion?
A bioregion is a living place whose identity emerges from the relationships between its geology, water, soils, habitats and the communities of life they support.
The Thames bioregion stretches from the springs of the Cotswolds, through chalk streams, floodplains, farms, towns and cities, to the estuary where the river meets the North Sea. It is home to millions of people and countless other species, all connected by the same living systems.

Who we are
At a time when so many of our systems are struggling to support thriving life, we believe deep, place-rooted connection is one of the most important things we can build. We are an interdisciplinary group brought together through bioregioning, the regenerative practice of reconnecting people with the living place they inhabit: its land, water, communities and ecology.
For us, that place is the whole Thames bioregion, not just the river. Together we're working towards a better, safer and more resilient future for all, making our interconnected living communities healthier and happier.
Three ways we work
Connecting
Nurturing the Thames bioregion communities through a systems lens - seeing land, water, communities and ecology as one living whole.
Catalysing
Realising the potential of people, place and all life through embodied learning, storytelling, culture and regenerative practices.
Enabling
Enable funding flows that sustain the work and let regenerative practice take root and spread.
