Perhaps my favorite collab to date is complete! A

Perhaps my favorite collab to date is complete!

A sign to discourage illegal dumping along a spectacular mountain road (Wildcat Mountain Rd. to be specific) created by our 10 yr old son Sylas and I has just been installed by #humboldtcounty Public Works!

Look for it next time you drive out to the #lostcoast. Hopefully it will last for years and those looking for a target practice subject will appreciate the kid artwork and go easy.

📖 Here's a snippet about Mosses from Chapter 7

📖 Here's a snippet about Mosses from Chapter 7 of “The Klamath Mountains: A Natural History” on Cryptogams.

An astounding diversity of terrestrial cryptogams exists in the Klamath Mountains—
represented by mosses, liverworts, lichens, ferns, forest mushrooms, and algae.

Half of the 600+ mosses found in California are known from the Klamath Mountains.

Like the vascular flora, the moss diversity is also associated with the Klamath Mountains’ diverse geology, climate, topography, and plant communities.

👀 Isn’t this a cool photo? Moss producing oxygen captured by Ken DeCamp (author of Wildflowers of CA’s Klamath Mountains).

📘 Keep on reading about mosses and so much more in our new book! Pick yours up at backcountrypress.com or from your favorite bookstore around the region.

They’re here!!!
We’re elated. And relieved 😅

📬 Many thanks to all who supported this project by preordering your copy, which is probably in your mailbox right now! (Preorder sale ends today, 9/1, at backcountrypress.com)

Crafting this book was a monumental effort and represents the collaboration and contributions of so many fine folks. Experts in all aspects of the region’s natural history came together and are the first to tell the entire story—one where Traditional Ecology Knowledge crosses roots with Western Science.

To all who contributed: Thank you for your love, support, and generous sharing of your expertise over the last decade so that we may all better understand what makes the Klamath Mountains such a special region—so that we may in turn be better stewards.

🙏🥳🙌

📖 An excerpt from Chapter 5 | Mountains of Wate

📖 An excerpt from Chapter 5 | Mountains of Water, by Tim Palmer and Justin Garwood, from The Klamath Mountains: A Natural History.

In a region of superlatives, this one is pretty darn special:

“Water in the Klamath Mountains creates a network of streams and rivers of extraordinary importance and natural wealth unlike any other in America.

From the Rogue River in the north to the Trinity River in the south, this suite of waterways is one of the premier assemblages of relatively undeveloped rivers nationwide.

Most of these have been designated in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System for a continuous north–south expanse of 260 miles (418 km)—the greatest such length anywhere.”

📖 Here’s a snippet by Mark Bailey about Geolo

📖 Here’s a snippet by Mark Bailey about Geology from Chapter 3 of The Klamath Mountains: A Natural History.

Mark spins a truly riveting tale and I wish I could read you the entire story where you'll learn a lot about Terranes: In the Klamath Mountains at least ten
accreted terranes were smashed against and sutured to North America, giving rise to the geological complexity we see today.
