The Seaside Library will host author Tim Palmer as part of their Writers at Work series. Tim will discuss his book, Field Guide to Oregon Rivers beginning at 7:00pm.
Despite its watery reputation, Oregon has lacked a field guide for the many celebrated rivers and streams—that is, until now. Tim Palmer, preeminent river conservationist, photographer, and author, has assembled the “Field Guide to Oregon Rivers,” a thorough reference profiling 120 waterways throughout the state.
The rivers range from the Alsea to the Williamson, and several in between.
The evening will begin with a natural history of Oregon’s rivers—geology, climate, hydrology, plants, animals and ecology. Next, portraits of individual rivers, with a summary of the rivers character as well as notes about its nature, fish, and protection efforts will be discussed. Additional highlights include opportunities for seeing the river, hiking its shores, fishing, and exploration by canoe, kayak, or drift boat. Also included will be a list of the best rivers for outdoor activities.
