Connection.

Siskiyou Field Notes is about attention to place, but it is also about connection.

If this landscape matters to you, or if something you have read here resonates, I welcome hearing from you. Many of the best conversations begin simply - with someone sharing an observation, a question, or a story connected to the land.

You might live in the Elk River watershed, have spent time along Oregon’s southern coast, or carry an interest in wild rivers, coastal forests, and the future of these ecosystems. Others may be photographers, naturalists, scientists, or people simply drawn to places where nature still shapes the character of the land.

Whatever brings you here, your perspective is welcome.
