Winter 2026

Cover image: “Lagunitas Creek Autumn,” by Tom Killion.

For this special 25th anniversary issue, we go big. We exult in natural places transformed, over 25 years, by hard work. Then, we try to think like a salamander. We examine what lives on Solano County lands where billionaires propose a new city. We go roaming—sans phone! We explore a newly connected redwood corridor, a pocket marsh, and the mysteries of rainbows. We go walking at night and see what glows. We swim in murk.
