“Saving Tarboo Creek” Book Talk with author Scott Freeman @ Centralia College, Trans Alta Commons: 122
Mar 6 all-day
"Saving Tarboo Creek" Book Talk with author Scott Freeman @ Centralia College, Trans Alta Commons: 122

Scott Freeman, author of “Saving Tarboo Creek” and distinguished University of Washington professor, will give a talk on his recent book, “Saving Tarboo Creek.”

According to Scott, “My talk will focus on our effort to continue Aldo Leopold’s legacy in ecological restoration, now 80 years and three generations in the family later. Over the past 15 years, small and encouraging triumphs in reforestation and remeandering set Tarboo Creek on the path to becoming a high-functioning salmon stream again, after decades of degradation. But now we are encountering challenges and potential setbacks: a reed canary infestation, the impact of the hot-water “Blob” on salmon returning to Puget Sound, and a proposal from a private security company to build a paramilitary training center near the creek’s headwaters. Responding to these issues is a reminder that community-based conservation is a lifelong process–one that ties us to each other and to the land.”

To continue the conversation, prior to and after Scott’s talk, representatives from local conservation agencies and organizations will be on hand to provide information on ways local landowners and the community can get involved with salmon restoration projects and activities.

Free light refreshments will be available.

Sponsored by: The Chehalis Lead Entity, Centralia College and the Chehalis River Basin Land Trust. For more information, contact Kirsten Harma at kharma@chehalistribe.org
