Columbia Basin residents are invited to camp, explore, and learn with Wildsight along the Columbia River through a ‘Columbia River Conversations’ Field Tour designed around interactive learning.
Taking place in September, participants will learn about the past, present and future of the Columbia River from unique field visits, diverse experts, engaging activities, and through conversation with each other, while camping out at Syringa Creek Provincial Park.
“The Columbia Basin is a vast and complex watershed with an even more complex future. To understand the issues we face, it’s essential to spend time with the actual places that are involved. And it’s equally important to learn from a wide range of perspectives,” said Program Lead Graeme Lee Rowlands.
“This September, we invite you to connect with others that care about this special watershed as we learn about dam operations, reservoir levels, ecosystem restoration, salmon reintroduction, the Columbia River Treaty, and more.”
The Castlegar Field Tours will take place on Sept. 27 through to Sept. 29.
This experience will be open to the general public for the first time, as Wildsight hopes to recruit diverse groups of participants including local residents, community leaders, artists, writers, natural resource professionals, educators, and others.
Columbia River Conversations is based on Wildsight’s eight years of experience, teaching people about the Columbia River.
