Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Cloud Ridge Naturalists supports global science and conservation efforts through public education in an award-winning book publishing program, with 3 books published by Cloud Ridge Publishing and 3 books published in partnership with Sasquatch Books/Penguin Random House. In 2019, after 36 years offering an international ecotourism program from the Arctic to the Antarctic we eliminated our group tourism footprint and focus solely on our publishing program as our primary educational outreach.

Cloud Ridge Naturalists and Cloud Ridge Publishing focuses on science literacy through the creation of books and other visual media that emphasize natural history and inspire conservation stewardship. We underwrite and publish books independently and in cooperation with mainstream publishing houses, currently Sasquatch Books/Penguin Random House. We donate all royalties from Sasquatch Books for our 2 Salish Sea books to UC Davis' SeaDoc Society, a research and educational outreach nonprofit. Royalties from our 2 Rocky Mountain titles are deposited as income in our nonprofit's publishing account.
