“Earlier this year, I was asked to do a painting

“Earlier this year, I was asked to do a painting for a book cover. An amazing book put out by Backcountry Press, edited and authored, along with many other contributors, by Michael Kauffmann and Justin Garwood—The Klamath Mountains: A Natural History.

I framed it and passed that painting along to these two kind, passionate, and knowledgeable friends.

To be able to visually represent their fine book and the mountains that long ago inspired me to be an artist is a high honor.”

- Ken Jarvela @kenjarvela

Thank you, Ken!

This week always feels like the kickoff to California Desert season to us North Coast Californians.

Over the winter months we’ve loved heading to these stark landscapes to wonder at the diverse plants with their brilliant adaptations for surviving in such harsh places.

North America has 4 major desert regions, 3 of which are included within California: The Mojave, Sonoran, and Great Basin. Find out what makes each desert unique in our latest blog post, which is an excerpt from a book we published just a few months back: California Desert Plants!

Here’s what Naomi Fraga @naomibot, Director of Conservation Programs with the @californiabotanicgarden, has to say about this book:

“I am marveling at California Desert Plants! This book is packed with incredible information and beautiful images—from the ecosystem level to individual species. It will be cherished and enjoyed by both the seasoned ecologist and the budding botanist. A must have for any desert lover.”

We hope this book gets to leap off your bookshelf and join you in the desert for California Desert Season!
