Washington’s Wild Side: Off-Trail Tales from Northeast Washington’s Wildlands 
http://www.conservationnw.org/calendar/seattle-conservation-northwest-presents-an-evening-for-the-columbia-highlands

Tuesday, May 17, 2011 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM

Seattle REI Flagship, 222 Yale Ave N

Ever wondered how to get away from it all? Join Conservation Northwest for an answer to this question as we take a comprehensive tour of Northeast Washington’s wildest landscapes. If you’re looking for hidden gems in the northwest, you’ve come to right place.

Together we’ll explore, through story and image, the wildlife, landscapes, and culture of the Columbia Highlands of northeastern Washington.  In the modern world, this is the closest you get to the frontier, where big, empty landscapes, traditional livelihoods, and native wildlife coexist in a manner unique in the Pacific Northwest.

Learn how to find your own piece of solitude in the Columbia Highlands and how this area is on the threshold of being designated the newest wilderness area in WA. This conservation proposal is perhaps the most sophisticated wilderness proposal to date in Washington’s rich conservation history, as it seeks to connect two ecosystems, the Cascade and Rocky Mountains

The evening includes wildlife and wildlands photos from the region by noted wildlife photographer Paul Bannick, tales of long, rarely traveled trails from guidebook author, Craig Romano, and insightful environmental philosophy from Conservation Northwest executive director Mitch Friedman

Free event.
