The Blue Otter School of Herbal Medicine is located in the mountains of Siskiyou County in Northern California. Siskiyou County borders Oregon and is home to Mount Shasta, the Marble, Scott, Cascade Eddy and Trinity Mountain Ranges and the Klamath, Scott and Salmon Rivers. Numerous creeks, alpine lakes, animals and plants abound in this county sparsely populated by people.
Our land is seven miles outside the town of Fort Jones in the beautiful Scott Valley. Just over nine acres, the land holding the Blue Otter School of Herbal Medicine has a forested hillside, open meadow, a creek, stunning views of Mt. Shasta and is adjacent to the Marble Mountain Wilderness.
