Well, here is the songbook. I imagine walking through a forest and pausing to read these illuminating pages aloud to a listening cedar or a dipper. There are field guides that help us to see, and to name, and to know; \u003ci\u003eCascadia Field Guide\u003c\/i\u003e does all of that and more. This is a guide to relationship, a gift in reciprocity for the gifts of the land. - Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of \u003ci\u003eBraiding Sweetgrass\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCascadia stretches from Southeast Alaska to Northern California and from the Pacific Ocean to the Continental Divide. \u003ci\u003eCascadia Field Guide: Art, Ecology, Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e blends art and science to celebrate this diverse yet interconnected region through natural and cultural histories, poetry, and illustrations.

All writers and artists have deep ties to the region. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This project was supported, in part, by a grant from 4Culture\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Mountaineers Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50574441546002,"sku":"9781680516227","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_76735d1f-9f52-4f40-ae76-bdba58c06cd2.jpg?v=1731973480","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/cascadia-field-guide-art-ecology-poetry-9781680516227","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
