Join us in the Readings Gallery for another event in the Nature of Writing series in collaboration with North Cascades Institute!

<h3>About the book</h3><p>Here in the Pacific Northwest, many of us delight in Olympic National Park, a unique and magical UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site, located right in our own backyard. Yet the famed park is just the center of a much larger ecosystem, a wild circle of rivers that encompasses ancient old-growth forests, pristine coastal expanses, and jagged alpine peaks, all possessed of a rich biodiversity. For tens of thousands of years, humans have strived--and thrived--alongside this teeming natural world.</p><p><em>In Salmon, Cedar, Rock &amp; Rain</em>, award-winning writer and naturalist Tim McNulty delves into the Olympic Peninsula&#x27;s deeply complex history of wildlife and adventure, economic development and resource extraction, conservation and restoration, while writers from five of the sovereign tribes who maintain traditional homelands on the peninsula offer their own insights, stories, and perspectives. Together, these narratives create a vivid and layered portrait of this remarkable landscape.</p><p>Enhanced by stunning photography by the likes of John Gussman, Art Wolfe, Pat O&#x27;Hara, and others, Salmon, Cedar, Rock &amp; Rain celebrates the why: why the Olympics and its natural, cultural, and economic communities are worth exploring, and why sustaining a resilient future for these same communities benefits us all. Perhaps, no other region in the Northwest offers a history of such depth—nor a future ripe with so much potential.</p><p>This wild, wooded, water-carved corner of the Pacific Northwest represents one of the most diverse and spectacular natural areas on the planet. A place where eight sovereign tribes maintain traditional homelands, it&#x27;s an intricate ecosystem that sustains a stunning range of life, from mountaintop to ocean floor. What does our shared future hold?</p><h3>About the author</h3><p><strong>Tim McNulty </strong>is a poet, essayist, and nature writer based on Washington&#x27;s Olympic Peninsula. He is the author of ten poetry books and eleven books of natural history. Tim has received the Washington State Book Award and the National Outdoor Book Award among other honors.</p>
