Perhaps you think you know the story of western Oregon’s forests. Author Peg Herring invites you to think again in her new book “Born of Fire and Rain: Journey into a Pacific Coastal Rainforest.”
In the book, Peg takes readers on an imagined field trip into the fire-born, rain-soaked forests of western Oregon and Washington, and some of the countless upheavals they have survived for millennia, including the age of modern industrial forestry that began in the 20th century. Her compelling and imaginative storytelling, driven by passion and rooted in science, as well as her illustrations based on years of nature sketching, will make for a webcast relevant for forest lovers of all knowledge levels. Join us to be inspired for the forest advocacy work needed now more than ever.
We will be raffling off a copy of Oregon’s Ancient Forests: A Hiking Guide, Born of Fire and Rain: Journey into a Pacific Coastal Rainforest, and one of our new”Let Nature Live. Let Nature Last” t-shirts. Tickets are $5 and are an optional purchase below. Raffle tickets not only help us continue these Wednesday presentations but also support our work safeguarding Oregon’s wildlands, wildlife, and waters.
