Wes will explore old-growth redwood log jams and large wood restoration. Additionally, Sam Flanagan will discuss "Culverts = Problems: Floods, Failures and Fixes," shedding light on the challenges and solutions related to culvert management.
Our event kicks off at 6 pm! Arrive early to secure a prime spot, savor delicious BBQ from the grill masters at Low and Slow, and keep cool with a refreshing beverage from Mad River Brewery. Following the talks, we will raffle some Patagonia gear! Raffle tickets start at $2 each or 3 for $5. See you there!
The patio cover remains off so make sure to bring what you need to be cool and comfortable. We encourage bringing a hat, sunglasses and maybe even some sunscreen as beautiful Blue Lake can be very sunny this time of year. It is also great to carpool, if possible, as parking can be limited at times.

The White Card is a powerful play by Claudia Rankine. When a White family invites a prominent Black female artist to dinner, it ignites a powerful dialogue that unearths the nuanced truths of race and Whiteness, inviting us to question our understanding of society today. In this captivating play, Claudia Rankine delves into the shadows of systemic oppression and the complex dynamics of race in America.
This special performance will be followed by a facilitated discussion, led by Sarah Peters Gonzalez, a local theater artist and teacher (Cal Poly Humboldt, Dell' Arte) with extensive diversity, equity and inclusion training.
Note: to provide a space for the immunocompromised and most vulnerable in our community, this performance is a special 'Masked Matinee', where mask-wearing is REQUIRED.
Tickets are $20 general and $18 students and seniors.
