diversity and sustainability and which interacts with the land, 
forest and rivers in a knowledgeable and respectful way. 
SFI's programs are fostering a greater appreciation of the 
ecological significance of the Siskiyous and the greater Klamath 
region. We hope the knowledge and personal connections gained 
through SFI will encourage people to work together to protect 
the ecological integrity of the region.
