WildKind Collective is rooted in adventure, education, and environmental storytelling. We engage in community-driven projects. We use creative media and establish real-life river connections. Our goal is to protect salmon and the wild places they call home. Whether you’re here for the conservation, the coffee, or the kayaking, you’re part of something bigger. Welcome to the collective.
Our values
At WildKind Collective, we believe that adventure and conservation belong together. We value curiosity, community, and bold action for the wild places we love. Our work is grounded in respect—for rivers, for people, and for the interconnected ecosystems that sustain life.
We believe in storytelling that inspires and education that empowers. We aim to make conservation feel accessible, creative, and rooted in joy. Whether we’re sharing salmon science over coffee or paddling into a watershed cleanup, we show up with intention, heart, and a deep commitment to protecting what matters.
Above all, we believe that everyone has a role to play in shaping a wilder, kinder future.
Meet the Founder
WildKind Collective was founded by a river guide turned conservation storyteller with a deep love for wild places and a lifelong passion for protecting them. With years spent navigating rivers and capturing their magic behind the lens, I created WildKind as a way to blend adventure, education, and environmental action. I’m currently studying Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Sciences at Oregon State University, and I believe that storytelling has the power to spark real change. Whether through a cup of adventure-inspired coffee or a riverside cleanup, WildKind is my way of helping more people fall in love with nature—and fight for it.
