Do You Have the Right Guy?
Let' first make sure you have the Andy Kerr you want. I'm the card-carrying conservationist that splits his time between Ashland, OR and Washington, DC. I also write on energy efficiency and renewable energy. I know or know of several other Andy Kerrs in Oregon, some of whom have had anger toward me misdirected at them, or otherwise resulting in confusion and/or hilarity (perhaps you had to be there).
Getting Around the Website
It's all about left-column navigation.
HOT STUFF is my latest doings or links to pages on this site I've mentioned at a recent talk, etc.
COLD STUFF should only be viewed if you can really handle the truth.
SEARCH is as easy as entering a key word(s). The more key words, the more narrow the search.
ABOUT THE BANNER is about the lovely (obviously I did not take it) banner image. It's in Oregon, of course, but can you guess where?
CONTACT is the the way to email me through a web page.
Click on "Interests" to get a menu of particular topics I'm interested in. Choose one to delve. Click on "About" and it's all about me; what've I done, doing and intend to do; books and articles I've published, photographs, what others have said, etc. Click on "Other Matters" learn more about the western larch tree, see my Larch Occasional Papers, getting permission to reprint my work, etc. Click on "Oregon Desert Guide" to see words, maps and tables (but not photos) of Oregon Desert Guide: 70 Hikes. Click on "Hate Mail" to see what some (it is my policy to post it all; but alas, I don't get anywhere the amount I used to).
Staying in Touch
Blogging

Social Media
With extreme ambivalence, I am "on" Facebook, Twitter and Linked-In (click on the ubiquitous icon at left). I will not promise, but will endeavor, to get better at it. Yes, I am aware is is 2018, but I'm hoping they've peaked.
