We take a journey to the extraordinary Klamath-Siskiyou Bioregion of Southwest Oregon and Northwest California. This special bioregion includes many millions of acres of public land full of old growth forests and wild rivers. A natural legacy of the United States. And! KS Wild’s appreciation for this gorgeous landscape and the stories of their fight to defend this home has many lessons for us here in the Hudson Valley.
