Salmon biologist, conservationist and author Jim Lichatowich will be speaking in Eugene tonight, reading from his new book Salmon, People and Place.
Here is a great quote from Lichatowich in a recent interview:
By relying more and more on hatcheries we’re creating a charade of sorts where the river that can’t support a salmon becomes a stage prop where fishermen and fish play out their respective roles, reenacting something, an important part of our past, that now is sort of a hollow empty memory of it.
The event tonight is hosted by the Western Environmental Law Center at Cozmic Pizza in Eugene, 6pm. You can find more event details on Facebook.
