The shared human connection with transcendent beauty across time is the foundation of our work at Braided River. The eyes open pathways to our heart through artistry and authentic images of the natural world.

Our work ahead in 2025 will continue in community, sharing the exceptional work and purpose of the photographers and authors, the strategic partners, allies, and donors and the communities we work alongside of that make this effort possible, potent, and consequential.

As we introduce new books and programs, we will also support the books and programs of the past years to protect sacred lands and waters. From the Arctic to the Olympic Peninsula—from the Colorado River to the Columbia Basin—from the Tongass Rainforest to the Salish Sea—with stories of orcas, salmon, caribou, and human communities seeking sustainable lifeways—we will find, shape, and share the stories and images to capture hearts, and nurture activism.

With deep appreciation for your friendship and support.

– Helen Cherullo, Executive Director, Braided River
