Selma’s Siskiyou Field Institute expands environmental education
By SCOTT JORGENSEN
IVN Staff Writer
Selma-based Siskiyou
Field Institute (SFI) is taking
solid steps to extend its reach
into the broader community.
Executive Director Arnie
Green said that SFI has en-
tered several partnerships to
ensure greater access to its
environmental education pro-
grams.
Among them is a three-
year research project that will
be conducted at SFI’s Deer
Creek Center by the Univer-
sity of Oregon/Eugene, Green
said. The study emphasis will
be on determining the effect
of global climate change on
plants indigenous to the re-
gion, and Green said that the
center is one of only three
Pacific Northwest sites se-
lected for the study.
SFI also has entered a
partnership with Klamath
Bird Observatory. Green said
that group operates mostly in
Jackson County, and that
working with SFI will enable
it to work in Josephine
County. In exchange, SFI will
reap the benefits of that
group’s knowledge, he said.
A series of appearances
and presentations at area
schools have been planned,
Green said, along with field
trips in fall and spring.
Another partnership with
the Oregon Caves National
Monument will involve tak-
ing schoolchildren to the
caves with Deer Creek Center
personnel explaining the
similarities and differences
between their watersheds,
Green said.
SFI was included in a
21st Century Community
Schools Grant submitted by
Three Rivers School District,
Green said, and will be work-
ing with around 10 classes.
More improvements also
have been made to the Deer
Creek Ranch property. A
second yurt was erected by
students and staff members
from Southern Oregon Uni-
versity at Ashland, and a plat-
form has been put up for
tents. That means that up to
40 people can be housed on-
site, Green said.
Two other capital im-
provements are being eyed at
SFI. Research sometimes is
conducted in classrooms at
the center, which can conflict
with instruction. As such,
Green said SFI hopes to soon
pursue the construction of a
separate research facility.
“That’s the next step,”
Green said.
A bedroom at the center
still is used as office space,
Green said, but the construc-
tion of a stand-alone educa-
tional facility would add to
the amount of areas available
for such use.
He expressed optimism
that a foundation may be will-
ing to put up a challenge
grant for the research facility.
That would be beneficial to
SFI, Green said, as it has re-
ceived grants from the Ore-
gon Community Foundation,
Collins Foundation and Car-
penter Foundation during the
past few months.
The center has seen in-
creased use as a retreat facil-
ity, which was a goal that
Green established after as-
suming his position at SFI.
The site has been utilized
in recent weeks to host the
governor’s economic revitali-
zation team, the Oregon
Board of Forestry, the United
Way of Jackson County, the
board of directors of Cycle
Oregon, and Substance
Abuse Community Action
Team. Green said he finds
that encouraging.
“We’re getting our place
on the map,” he said. “It’s
picking up. People are begin-
ning to realize we’re here.”
