ANN rebranding as Applegate Siskiyou Alliance BY EVELYN ROETHER For more than 10 years, Applegate Neighborhood Network (ANN) has been advocating for the environment and the human communities of the Applegate River watershed. We have worked with communities across the Applegate Valley and throughout southern Oregon to successfully protect the forests and intact native habitats of our region. Rising from the rural grassroots, ANN has become a prominent and very active voice for the people of the Applegate Valley and for the beautiful natural world we are so lucky to enjoy. By the time you read this article, we will have changed our name to Applegate Siskiyou Alliance to more closely reflect our commitment to the Applegate-Siskiyou region and its permanent protection. Although we will still focus on our roots in the Applegate community and our commitment to this region is stronger than ever before, we hope to expand our programs and increase our efforts as the Applegate Siskiyou Alliance! We believe the best advocates for our environment are those of us who know this land best and have the deepest bonds with its spectacular beauty and biodiversity. We encourage folks who know and love this region to support our work, participate in the protection of our watersheds, and become stronger voices for the wildlands of our region. Applegate Siskiyou Alliance is an Applegate-based and Applegate-led conservation group committed to the preservation and restoration of our natural world. Although we are no longer officially a neighborhood network, we will be throwing a big fundraiser and celebration this June in the Little Applegate Valley just above Buncom.
