The creek canyon opens out of a wilderness watershed into an intimate little valley
where organic gardens and rustic cabins await amid a string of old trout ponds,
waterfalls, and lush green meadows for gathering and growing.
Remote..... nestled deep in the spectacular backcountry
of southwestern Oregon's mystical Siskiyou Mountains,
where two wild and beautiful canyons come together...
The
creek canyon opens
out of a wilderness watershed
into an intimate little valley
where organic gardens and rustic cabins await amid a string of old trout
ponds,
waterfalls, and lush green meadows
for gathering and growing.
The
creek canyon, carrying
pristine sweet-water for gardens, drinking, swimming & bathing....
for the ducks, ouzels, herons, otters, frogs, salamanders, turtles,
newts....
and finally over the tallest waterfall
into the deep canyon below,
spilling into the river's larger flow.......
The little river, flowing from
the highest crest of the Siskiyous,
deep in its splendid canyon,
roaring and singing
its endless riversong,
serenading us
as we garden, dance, explore,
swim at Slide Rock Falls,
and camp under the closed canopy of exquisite riverside forest.
River
and creek..... two canyons.......
surrounded by thousands of acres
of the proposed Dakubetede Wilderness,
home to countless deer, cougar,
bear, elk, birds, butterflies,
rare plants and trees, numerous ecosystems of exceptional biodiversity.
Where
these canyons connect, we engage energies of the four directions,
going deep in four
DEEPWILD.ORG
dimensions, living the life of Deep Ecology.
We GIFT it through Birch Creek
Arts and Ecology Center.
We TEACH it through Dakubetede
Environmental Education Programs.
We LIVE the life of Deep Ecology
at Trillium Farm.
We put it into ACTION with
Threatened & Endangered Little Applegate Valley.
And we let it flow like
the precious water in the River, back to the Source.
