The EPA has an interesting set of maps of which show the North America as ecoregions instead of political divisions. I had never seen this before and found it quite interesting. Ecoregions | US EPA

Thank you for posting this! Candidates in North America who are in the process of learning about their ecoregion should find this site helpful.

Yep that’s super helpful and part of what I used! It has maps extending across North America, at least down to level 3, which is probably good enough for finding the boundaries of your ecoregion.
(The level 4 info is great too, but I think more for understanding the diversity within your region.)

This is very interesting, thanks for posting it! I find it interesting that I live in a part of Alberta that is a border between the Great Plains ecoregion to the south and the Northern Forests ecoregion to the north. It is also a border area between the traditional lands of the Blackfoot to the south and the Cree to the north. (My hometown of Meeting Creek was so named because the valley was a meeting point for the Cree and Blackfoot).
