  • Start time: 6:05 PM

  • End date: 05/31/2024

Description:

You do not need to sign up for this event; just show up with a dish to share for the potluck (starts promptly at 6:30) or come just for the program which starts at 7:30.

The wild forests, mountains and rivers we enjoy hiking, climbing, and floating all have stories to tell. How did the forest along your favorite trail develop over the past few centuries and what battles were fought to protect your favorite Wilderness area or wild river? Chandra LeGue, Senior Conservation Advocate with Oregon Wild, explored some of these questions in her 2019 book "Oregon's Ancient Forests: A hiking guide." But change is the nature of life and, since her book came out, several included trails have been impacted by fire and new campaigns to protect old-growth forests and wild places have emerged.
