There are local TV stations and PBS affiliates that produce weekly shows profiling their state, but so many feel like mere advertisements for some hotel or recreation area that paid money for coverage, or feel amateurish in how they are filmed, set to music, etc. Not Oregon Field Guide, which presents not only shows that make you want to travel to an area in Oregon, but also presents thought-provoking topics for debate. Like in 2009, when the program followed 12 middle school students from Sunnyside Environmental School in Portland who, after writing a poem about protecting wolves, which most Oregon ranchers despise, traveled 300 miles from their urban homes to live on ranches across rural Grant County and get to know ranching families up close. Or why meadows are disappearing across Oregon. Or how the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife spends its money on the fish and the game animals that make the agency money from licenses and tags, and neglects hundreds of other sensitive species. A show that bridges the urban and rural divide of Oregon.
