A Community Rooted in Curiosity and Respect

Yiganlawi rose from Valdran Tornhaven’s enduring reverence for the natural world and the spirit of exploration. Our story is one of gratitude—to the land, its mysteries, and the communal drive to preserve and share its wonders. Situated in Milwaukie, our vision is to nurture a sanctuary of knowledge that celebrates both the majesty and the delicate balance of the outdoors.
