Author Talk with Janine Gates: Saving the Nisqually Delta
Advertisement
Located eight miles northeast of Olympia, Washington, the Nisqually Delta is one of the country’s last unspoiled estuaries. Janine Gates, author of Saving the Nisqually Delta, will discuss her book and present a slide show about the historical pressures applied by ports, counties, cities, and corporations to industrialize the Nisqually Delta.
Citizen activism saved the delta from those threats, but today, the Nisqually Delta is still at risk from the cumulative impact of urban and industrial encroachment. Janine will discuss key moments in Washington State environmental history and ongoing issues related to the ecological integrity of the Nisqually Delta.
Who will step up and save the Nisqually Delta now?
“Countless citizens volunteered their time and skills to protect the Nisqually Delta. Janine Gates’ thorough research in Saving the Nisqually Delta preserves those memories and experiences.” – Foreword excerpt by Daniel J. Evans, Governor of the State of Washington, 1965-1977
