SALMON & OAK / LAND & WATER

A living landscape. A shared responsibility.

Caring for stream corridors, oak landscapes, and the living connections between them.

01 / A CLOSER LOOK
01 / Our approach

The work begins with a place. And a reason to return.

A stream edge, a stand of old trees, a tray of seedlings. Each asks for a different kind of attention. Our work connects these small places through practical care and a habit of keeping records.

We make room for the unremarkable tasks: checking a planting, repairing a guard, taking the same photograph a season later. They give the next visit somewhere to begin.

02 / Areas of work

At the water. Under the trees.

Three connected areas of care, from streamside planting to the nursery bench.

Stream corridors

Walk the stream edge, note the gaps in cover, and plan the next round of planting and follow-up care.

The nursery bench

Field note / 001

A second visit to the stream edge.

The first visit leaves a planting plan. The second leaves a more useful set of questions. Which guards stayed upright? Where did the ground hold moisture? What needs another look?

In this sample field note, a short walk becomes a record for the next crew: a few photographs, marked locations, and a list of follow-up tasks.
