Kesia “Lee” Lee is a writer, photographer, and trail builder in the beautiful and wet Pacific Northwest. After playing dominoes on the streets of Cuba, driving across Canada as an essential worker during the pandemic, nearly falling off the Cliffs of Dover, and visiting every state in the US in her Subaru Forester, Lee returned home to Washington State to work year-round on trails and (mostly ignore) her ongoing photography project.

Since 2019 Lee has been documenting public land and what it means to treat something as sacred and worth protecting. Her hope is to inspire folks to take climate action through an attitude of love instead of fear. Some of her musings can be found published here on her website. Additionally, her work has been published by Washington Trails Association, Salish Current, and the US Forest Service.

Most of the time Lee can be found smashing rocks, looking for bones, knitting, or picking fights with the gods. She has a deep respect for the woods and can be heard muttering to herself, “Trees and holes. The whole damn forest is just trees and holes.” Usually after falling into a hole made by a tree.
