Phase I and Phase II

Rabe Consulting worked with the Klamath-Lake Forest Health Partnership to secure funding to install forest education signs along trails in Moore Park, in Klamath Falls. We planned and designed the project, including text, layout design, content and sign placement. We contracted Amy Hartell, a local artist, to add the artistic touch to the signs.

This project was the culmination of two years of working together with the Klamath Chapter of the Oregon Native Plant Society. We worked closely with several members of the society (Ron Larson USFWS; Sarah Malaby USFS; Molly Juillerat BLM; Jeanne Skalka USFS) that donated their time to write the text and take photographs. Michael Calonje provided technical layout and design, and donated much of his own time and many of the pictures found in the book. The result was a book with full color photographs of nearly 500 local plant species. Please click on the image to view a full online version of the book.
Rabe Consulting worked with the Klamath-Lake Forest Health Partnership to secure funding for a guide to local forested trails in Klamath County. The guide was so appreciated by the community that we were asked to print a second edition. Christopher Calonje provided technical layout design and photography. Michael Calonje produced the maps and took many of the photographs in the book. The guide includes description of the various forest types and conifers found in the county, driving directions and maps of the trails, and discussions about plants, wildlife, geology and history.

Working with the Forest Service and the Klamath Lake Forest Health Partnership, we installed a series of forest health interpretive trail signs along several trails at Lake of the Woods. The culmination of this truly collaborative effort is seen in the photo taken the day the signs were installed.
The trail signs pictured were installed along a trail at the Klamath Outdoor Science School near Fort Klamath. The signs were donated to the school, located in Sun Pass State Forest, by the Klamath-Lake Forest Health Partnership.
Rabe Consulting acquired funds and worked with Klamath County to publish two editions of this field identification handbook for noxious weeds. The first edition of the handbook was a huge success and supplies ran out within a year of its publication. Pictures in the first edition were not taken locally the list of species needed updating, as the Klamath County weed list had changed. The second edition provides the updated weed list and local photographs. Please click on the image to view a full online version of the guide.
Rabe Consulting acquired funds and worked with Klamath County to publish this field identification handbook to special status plants. Christopher Calonje handled technical layout and design as well as text. Michael Calonje took some of the photographs in the handbook, but Christopher gathered and obtained permission to use many of the photos as well. Sarah Malaby of the United States Forest Service reviewed the text, and made suggestions on content and observations. Please click on the image to view a full online version of the guide.
