What We Do
ForestWatch monitors and influences public land management across seven forest districts and two federal agencies over eight million acres of public land. It is at the heart of KS Wild's mission defending the wildlands and wildlife of the Klamath-Siskiyou.
KS Wild protects rivers and their fish by opposing projects that harm salmon and water quality while advocating for actions that help restore riparian health.
Our Public Lands and You (PLAY) stewardship program is committed to restoring and protecting wild places by connecting volunteers to on-the-ground projects that improve and monitor biologically rich places in the Klamath-Siskiyou.
Hikes & events
Join us to see the iconic Rainie Falls on the Rogue River. We will hike to the rocks overlooking the falls and look for fall run Chinook salmon as they try to jump the falls on their way to seek spawning areas upstream.
You are invited to join KS Wild and Rogue Riverkeeper for our premier party of the year—our Annual Dinner! We’ll have live music, an open bar, a catered meal, a live auction, a special guest speaker, and more! You won’t wanna miss it. Get your tickets here.
The trail at McGregor Park along the Upper Rogue River is a quiet, leafy walk. We will stop at locations along the river to look for spawning Chinook salmon who start arriving here in early September. We will also drive a short distance to Big Butte Creek where there is typically a good view of spawning fish visible from the Crowfoot Road bridge.
Join Shari O'Neal for her first solo art show in over 15 years at the KS Wild and Rogue Riverkeeper office as part of our First Friday art shows. Shari will be donating 15% of her sales proceeds to KS Wild. Wine and refreshments provided.
The Pacific Crest Trail is a national gem that we get to have in our very own backyard! Join George, our Conservation Director, for a moderate 4-6 mile hike on the PCT in the Soda Mountain Wilderness Area to enjoy the old-growth forests and sweeping views of the Siskiyou Crest from the trail!
Join Rogue Riverkeeper for a moderately easy, out-and-back walk along the Bear Creek Greenway. Along the way we'll talk about riparian ecology, fire restoration, and some of the local flora and fauna who call Bear Creek home. If we're lucky we may even see a salmon or two along the way.
Join us for an evening to view salmon spawning at the Provolt Recreation Site over a happy hour picnic! We will provide light snacks, and you are welcome to bring your own beverages (BYOB). This will be a fun and educational evening learning about the native fish in our region.
Chinook salmon return every fall to spawn in Bear Creek, the most urbanized tributary of the Rogue River and an easy place to see them is along the Bear Creek Greenway in Central Point around the Pine Street bridge. Join us for this magnificent experience!
Every autumn, migrating Chinook salmon make their way up the Rogue River to spawning grounds in tributaries throughout the Rogue and Illinois Valleys. Join KS Wild for an easy walk to learn about the salmon lifecycle and view wild salmon spawning in the beautiful Illinois River.
Join us on Armistice Day, November 11th, at the SOU Music Recital Hall for a tribute to beloved local activist Dot Fisher-Smith and a fundraiser benefiting two organizations close to her heart: KS Wild and Peace House.
