One of 18 transparent panels installed at Hagg Lake, Oregon, illustrating the vibrancy and connections between local plants, animals, and human activity, with a focus on native species.

Facing the lake, a Bass rises up towards a hovering Dragonfly, with a Trout and Crappie swimming below. Sword Ferns and Trilliums are featured at the bottom of the panel.

The opposite side of the panel, facing inland, features a Great Blue Heron soaring upwards, framed by the tall trunks of Douglas Fir trees. A Vine Maple glows with bright autumn color above the last of summer's tiny Woodland Strawberry fruits. A Varied Thrush stands at the bottom of the panel.

In this description, the names of plants and animals are capitalized in accordance with Robin Wall Kimmerer's gesture of acknowledgement, respect, and reciprocity towards the many species that share our world, supporting and sustaining us in ways we may or may not know.
