Curriculum
Twenty years of Oregon fieldwork.

Practice boundary
What the practice does—and what it does not.
Fieldnote Practice does research, analysis and writing. It does not engineer, survey to record, or act as counsel at hearings. When a project needs that, it says so early and names who should do it.
