This month, your Change for Good donations support Siskiyou Field Institute (SFI), an organization that helps people connect with one of the most biodiverse regions in North America: the Klamath-Siskiyou ecoregion.

Their mission
To increase understanding of and connection to this incredible region through education, scientific research, and public engagement.

For more than 20 years, SFI has been inspiring people of all ages to learn from nature, not just about it. From youth programs and outdoor school to hands-on workshops and conservation projects, their work brings science and wonder to life in the great outdoors.

SFI just launched its Fall and Winter Adventure Learning Programs, and they’re full of amazing opportunities to experience the natural world. Here’s what’s coming up:

• Geology of Mt. Shasta on September 18 and 20

• Fall Mushrooms of the Cascades on October 5

• The Magic of Nature Journaling on October 12

• Guided Forest Therapy on October 19

• Botanical Inks on October 25

• Fall Mushrooms of the Siskiyous on November 2

• Trees to Know: Native Conifer Identification on November 15

If you’re curious about conifers, love the idea of nature journaling, or want to learn the science behind Mt. Shasta, these classes are for you. See all the details here.

When you give to Change for Good this month, you help support SFI’s youth programs, Outdoor School, and conservation work:

• Outdoor School gives 5th and 6th graders an unforgettable experience in place-based education. Students learn about fire ecology, watershed health, and local plants and animals while staying in yurts or bell tents in the beautiful Illinois River Valley.

• Day Programs bring science to life for K-12 students through nature hikes, ropes courses, and interactive field classes.

• Conservation efforts at SFI make their campus a model for sustainability and regenerative development. The land is protected by a conservation easement and is home to rare plant communities, wetlands, and healthy riparian zones.

When you round up at the register, you’re helping to keep these programs strong for future generations.

Thank you for supporting education, conservation, and the incredible natural heritage of our region! Learn more about Siskiyou Field Institute at thesfi.org.
