Bend, OR—The Deschutes Land Trust announced today its winter Nature Nights series. From monarch butterflies to equity in recreation, the Land Trust is offering free, monthly presentations on nature-related topics given by experts in their field.
March 20: Living in the Human Age
7:00-8:30 pm, The Tower Theatre in Bend
The Human Age, or Anthropocene, is a new geologic era proposed by scientists to describe our modern world that is dominated by humans and their changes to our planet. Join Deschutes Land Trust and retired National Geographic picture editor and the environment editor, Dennis Dimick, for a fast-moving, visual journey that explores and explains the modern human era, the Anthropocene. As a native Oregonian, Dimick will present a vivid journey through our modern world of 7.5 billion people that considers our expanding footprint, rising prosperity, and resulting environmental challenges that call for our attention and response. Explore ways to appreciate our place in nature and contemplate how we can contribute towards a positive future for ourselves and the planet. This presentation is free and ticket sales open one month prior to the event.
Nature Nights are free, but a ticket is required. Please register online.
