The Klamath Basin supports a rich diversity of life and is home to once-abundant resources including water, trees, minerals, and wildlife.
Fire & Ice: The Cascade Range:
The Cascade Range in Oregon is simply a link in the chain of fire that ultimately defines the shape of the Pacific Rim.
Treasures of the Klamath Basin:
The Klamath Basin is a land of beauty through diversity and was described by one early settler as, “Country as far as the eye can reach being one continued Swamp and Lakes.”
Life & Death in the High Desert:
Tucked behind the shadow cast by the Cascade Range sits a rugged basin and range land defined primarily by its lack of rainfall.
Abundant Waters:
Within the dry Great Basin, the waters of the Upper Basin of the Klamath drainage create an amazing oasis.
Flyway:
Once home to the greatest concentration of mirating waterfowl in North American, the Klamath Basin has lost over half of its wetlands to the needs of local farming.
Wild Salmon:
The history and continued success of the wild salmon species in the Klamath Basin is inexorably linked to the land and the people who inhabit it.
Towering Pines:
Between the dry, high-altitude climate and the Indian practice of burning, the ponderosa pine found an ideal habitat in the Upper Klamath Basin.
