Where Science and Nature Intersect…
North Coast Land Conservancy has joined forces with Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, the North Coast Watershed Association and the Fort George Brewery + Public House in Astoria to present lively conversations exploring the connection between nature and culture. This series seeks not only to inform you about nature, but inspire you to act upon what you learn. Nature Matters takes place in the Fort George’s Lovell Building next to its Tap Room at 7pm on the third Thursday of the month, October through May. Doors will open at 6 p.m. for those wanting to purchase seasonal beers on tap and other beverages at the George before the program begins.
