Chapter Meeting: Tahoma’s Biggest Stories

Did you know that Native Americans have traveled to Mount Rainier for over 9,000 years to gather resources unavailable near their lowland villages? And did you know that the effects of climate change extend far beyond the mountain’s retreating glaciers? Join Jeff Antonelis-Lapp, Emeritus Faculty at The Evergreen State College, for Tahoma’s Biggest Stories, an image-rich book talk from Tahoma and Its People, his natural history of Mount Rainier National Park. Published in 2020 by Washington State University Press, Tahoma and Its People was a finalist in the Banff Mountain Book Competition. Learn more at https://jeffantonelis-lapp.com/.

Yakima Audubon was privileged to have Jeff present his excellent program on special birds of Tahoma a few years ago. We are inviting Jeff back to fill us in on the other big themes found in his book. You will certainly learn much more about the fascinating natural and cultural history of Tahoma, monarch of the Cascade Range, and a world famous destination right in Yakima’s back yard.

Make plans to see Jeff’s program on Tahoma, either in person or remotely by Zoom!
