In the first of a special two-part series, Host Dave Schlom is joined by Michael Kauffmann, co-editor and publisher of The Klamath Mountains: A Natural History.
The mountainous region, located in northwestern California and up into southern Oregon, is one of the most biodiverse temperate mountain ranges on the planet. In part one, Dave and Michael give an overview of the region and are then joined by educator Mark Bailey, an expert on the geology of the Klamaths, to discuss their fascinating and complex geologic history.
In the second half of the show, Yurok Tribe Wildlife Department Director Tiana Williams-Claussen shares how the California Condor is being reintroduced back into their ancestral range in the Klamath Mountains.
In the next episode, Dave and Michael will examine the incredible biodiversity of the Klamath's forests and wildlife.
