Orion is a bimonthly, advertising-free magazine devoted to creating a stronger bond between people and nature. Founded in 1982, Orion occupies a distinct niche within the world of magazines, staking out the territory of ecology, the arts, action, and social justice. In a culture saturated by cynicism, superficiality, and single-issue thinking, Orion is a forum for anyone who is serious about the possibility of a peaceful, sustainable world. Orion Magazine is an environmentally-focused publication that becomes a focal point in nature writing. It invites audiences who care for the planet and explores their connection with nature and culture through writing and art.
