Our Plant Community: A Salmon Creek Farm Collaborative Field Guide is a collection of drawings and descriptions of sixty flora found at Salmon Creek Farm in Albion, CA. This project was made with a spirit of curiosity and amateurism in order to forge a deeper connection to the place through the plants, all the while building a resource to be utilized by visitors and residents of the Northern California Coastal Forests.
