Field Trip

Field Trip is the room for virtual fieldwork — guided walks through specific places, tours of the Cascadia bioregion, and the kind of essay-as-outing that animates much of the writing here. Currently links to canemah.org, the home of the Canemah Nature Laboratory itself. Future trips will be embedded in SwC essays as interactive walks, with maps, photos, audio recordings, and species observations anchored to specific points along the route.
