Virtual Nature/Travel Talk: "From Volcanoes to the Colombia River: "A Journey Through Time and Nature" with Joy Marzolf

Virtual Nature/Travel Talk: "From Volcanoes to the Colombia River: "A Journey Through Time and Nature" with Joy Marzolf Online

This will be a Zoom presentation by Naturalist and Photographer Joy Marzolf, starting at 7 PM.  It is called: "A Journey Through Time and Nature," all about the Pacific Northwest.

The Pacific Northwest is known for its mountains, but visible volcanic activity in the area dates back many millions of years and continues into the present. While providing dramatic landscapes, these areas are also known for a long history of native inhabitants and for the wildlife that can be found nearby. Mountain chickadees and Steller’s jays can be found flying around Crater Lake, the deepest lake in the US, while ground squirrels scamper among rugged and ancient lava flows in the high plains desert. Some, like Mt Hood reveal snowcapped peaks and waterfalls like Multnomah Falls, while on the other side of the Columbia River, Mount St Helens still shows signs of the 1980 eruption as well as the return of plants and animals. Join us for a journey through time from the mountains to the high plains of Oregon and Southern Washington.  This talk will be complimented by Joy's lovely photos made during her travels.  Please join us!
