September Nature Night: Coming Home to Central Oregon

A “Sense of Place” is a phrase often used to describe the ways in which a given landscape’s geology, climate, forest history, indigenous culture, and patterns of settlement can all influence the experience of living there. But another term that can also be useful in this connection is “affiliation.” It relates to a more active and conscious process of claiming a place as one’s own. Join the Deschutes Land Trust and John Elder for a talk on place and affiliation where we will explore a unified vision of nature and culture, citizenship and stewardship. Among the writers to be referred to along the way will be Leslie Marmon Silko and Gary Snyder.

This event is free, but registration is required.
