Have you ever been so filled up with the wonder of a place that it wants to spill out as a song? 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; Cascadia Field Guide 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 Braiding Sweetgrass
Cascadia stretches from Southeast Alaska to Northern California and from the Pacific Ocean to the Continental Divide. Cascadia Field Guide: Art, Ecology, Poetry blends art and science to celebrate this diverse yet interconnected region through natural and cultural histories, poetry, and illustrations. Organized into 13 bioregions, the guide includes entries for everything from cryptobiotic soil and the western thatching ant to the giant Pacific octopus and Sitka spruce, as well as the likes of common raven, hoary marmot, Idaho giant salamander, snowberry, and 120 more!
Both well-established and new writers are included, representing a diverse spectrum of voices, with poems that range from comic to serious, colloquial to scientific, urban to off-the-grid, narrative to postmodern. Likewise, the artists span styles and mediums, using classic natural history drawing, form line design, graffiti, sketch, and more. All writers and artists have deep ties to the region.

From the Publisher
Welcome to Cascadia
Welcome to rugged mountains, lush temperate rainforest, icefields, rolling plains, high desert, fertile lowlands, and hundreds of miles of shoreline, high- way, and trail that span international boundaries and homelands.
Welcome to the home of Madrona, Geoduck, Giant Palouse Earthworm, and Cassia Crossbill. Welcome to a distinctive place beloved by current residents, many Ancestors, and visitors. And welcome to a new way of seeing: where poetry, art, and ecology might work together to envision not just a place, but a rich engagement with place.
Upon first hearing the word Cascadia, some might focus on the Cascade Range, but its roots actually lie in the waters of our region. Cascadia is defined, according to the Sightline Institute, by “the watersheds of rivers that flow into the Pacific Ocean through North America’s temperate rainforest zone.” That’s a big zone!
Cascadia stretches from Alaska’s Prince William Sound in the north to Northern California’s Eel River in the south, from the Pacific coast to the Continental Divide. Alaska’s panhandle, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Northern California, and even edges of Montana and Wyoming are held in Cascadia.
