Eyewitness Chronicles of Mount St. Helens
2019-04-09 19:00 - 21:00
Wenatchee Valley Erratics Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute will meet at 7:00 P.M., Tuesday, April 9 at the Wenatchee Valley Museum, 127 South Mission, Wenatchee.
In the Path of Destruction—Eyewitness Chronicles of Mount St. Helens
Richard Waitt, Research Geologist with USGS Cascades Volcano Observatory, Vancouver, will talk about his book, In the Path of Destruction—Eyewitness Chronicles of Mount St Helens. The book portrays Mount St. Helens’ May 18, 1980 eruption through first-person stories of people caught in, racing from, or witnessing the blast. Included are tales of the spring-1980 pre-eruption crisis period and of the explosion itself. And then the complicated aftermath of the eruption’s effects on landscape, structures, people, and wildlife.
A meticulous scientist with extensive knowledge of Mount St Helens, Waitt scoured legal documents, personal diaries, and geologists’ field notes to assemble this detailed and accurate chronicle of events. Though only partly a science book, science does lie within the hundreds of narratives he collected.
The program is free & open to the public.
For overviews of the Ice Age Floods and more information on the Ice Age Floods Institute, please see their website: http://www.iafi.org; http://www.hugefloods.com; and quadricopter videos of Ice Age features, http://www.brucebjornstad.com.

Most of us recycle, but there is much we do not know about what happens with it when the truck takes it away. Did we put the right items in our bin? Were our items clean enough?
Non-profit Methow Recycles was envisioned by a group of individuals who imagined a community with easier and more comprehensive access to recycling. Miles, operations manager, will talk about the “hidden” realities of recycling and how to improve that process from home, all of us becoming more responsible with our waste!
The first of a series, there will be more about sustainability, reducing waste in our day to day lives, plastic pollution and making our own shampoo, selected Mondays until July!

Wednesday, March 27, 2019
6:30 pm 8:30 pm

Barn Beach Reserve, 347 Division St., Leavenworth

Wenatchee River Institute Presents-Arctic Solitaire
Join adventure traveler, photographer, author and “barfly in training, Paul Soaders on a hilarious and evocative ride of misadventures in the Arctic. In his book Arctic Solitaire, Souders shares exploits across four summers, thousands of miles of a vast inland sea, and the unpredictable Arctic wilderness—while offering an insightful look at what compels a person to embark on adventure. His accompanying images of the landscape, people, and wildlife of the remote Hudson Bay region are, in a word, stunning.
It was all for a picture, Soaders dreamed of photographing the Arctic’s most iconic animal, the polar bear, in its natural habitat. It was a seemingly simple plan: Haul a 22-foot fishing boat northeast a few thousand miles, launch, and shoot the perfect polar bear photo. After an inauspicious start and endless days spent driving to the end of northern Canada’s road system, he struggled along for weeks, grounding on rocks, hiding from storms, and stopping in isolated Inuit villages until finally, he found the ice and the world was transformed. The ice had brought hundreds of walrus into the bay and dozens of polar bears arrived to hunt and feed. For a few magical days, he was surrounded by incredible wildlife photo ops . He was hooked… and you will be, too!

What do scentless mayweed, yellow star thistle, and jointed goatgrass all have in common? All are noxious weeds we don’t want to find in our Wenatchee Foothills! CDLT is recruiting trail users to help us locate new populations of troublesome weeds so we can eliminate them before they spread. Find out how to identify the 15 most noxious weeds that threaten our shrub-steppe plant communities – especially after wildfire. The Land Trust has teamed up with Chelan County Weed Board to offer a training workshop for the community. Weed Board Field Supervisor and Botanist Julie Sanderson will teach field identification tips for a list of 15 “most wanted” invasive species. Participants will be provided with pocket guides and an invitation to be on the lookout for these invaders while hiking in the Wenatchee Foothills – and what to do about them.
