While I’m working on a post about new water technology, here’s a beautiful image of a wasp foraging in the staghorn sumac flowers up the hill. It haunts me. To see an […]

Look how there are three atmospheres in the valleys inland from the Coast Mountains and the rainforests of the Pacific shore. The first one is high and wet. It’s only wet because […]

Ten New Commercial Fruit Crops for the Okanagan

By Harold Rhenisch on June 11, 2013 • ( 21 Comments )

When the Okanagan was first settled by Europeans and Americans, they planted European and American crops, although the hills were covered in food. Peaches, Such as This Now-Dying Tree, Were Originally Planted […]

Science, Art, Spirit and Ethics as One: the Project Moves Forward Now

By Harold Rhenisch on June 7, 2013 • ( 5 Comments )

This is a Blog about People in Place

I am working at rebuilding human relationships to the earth, growing the global from the local and developing new environmental technologies out of close observation of the land. The land is the watershed and run of the Okanagan River in the North American West, and the Chilcotin and Columbia volcanic plateaus and basins that surround it. It is the goal of this blog to build the future now and to do it through attention to art, earth, science and beauty, so that there is, actually, a future for our children and a path for them to feel out their way to the earth should they ever find themselves in the dark. The project will lead to two book manuscripts in the summer of 2013, one on the salmon of the Okanagan River, the last major run on the Columbia system, and the other on the connection between the Manhattan Project and the political and industrial face of Eastern Washington and Southern British Columbia. They will do so within the broader context of land-based technologies, in forms that are simultaneously art and science. In this land without borders, there is no international line at the 49th parallel, cutting our country in two, and no imagined wall between settler and indigenous cultures. We are all walking together. We are all the land speaking.
