    Passion for Place is 200 pages, full color, with CD of excerpts from interviews and natural sounds from the watershed. It was printed locally on 60% post-consumer recycled paper. Passion for Place was designed 
    by Paola Berthoin. 

    Purchase of Passion for Place supports the ongoing conservation and maintenance of habitat for the red-legged frogs (a threatened species and the official state amphibian) and all animals and plants that call this place (7.69 acres) home. The red-legged frogs have been breeding here for the past 8 years. Two more tanks to collect rainwater have been installed for a total capacity of 19,000 gallons of saved rainwater! The frogs and all animals thank you for your support!

    This is one of ten red-legged frogs sited on September 2, 2012 at my home garden. The pond is topped up during the summer with rain water captured during the winter.
Passion for Place inspires us to slow down and take the time to engage the river as it gleams, to feel the warm breezes blow, to hear the birds sing and trees rustle, to watch carefully as the mountain lion softly treads. Through the lenses of art and poetry, sound and story, we experience the watershed and all of its elements with reverence and respect. Earth reappears in our minds as wondrous. We see. We hear. We feel. We remember. We Act.
