Creek Speak: Discussing issues on the Putah Creek Watershed
Permalink  
 


Hey Guys,
I don't know if any of you are aware that this is going on, but my roomate works on the UCD campus with the Environmental Sciences department and he forwarded me this info:
Creek Speak        Community Talks on the Putah Creek Watershed
June Creek Speak Presentation
------------------------------
Putah Creek Rocks
The series will kick off Thursday, June 14th, with "Putah Creek Rocks!" a
presentation from Dave Osleger, UC Davis geologist. He will talk about the
unique geology of the area and answer such questions as: How was Putah Creek
formed? What's under our feet and how old are those rocks? Join us from 7:00
- 8:00 P.M at the Winters Community Center.



CREEK SPEAK is a series of community talks on nature, art, science and
culture in the Putah Creek watershed held on the second Thursday of each
month, June through November 2007, at the Winters Community Center located
at 201 Railroad Avenue, in downtown Winters. Each talk will run
approximately one hour from 7:00 to 8:00 pm with time for questions
afterwards. The purpose of the Creek Speak series is to share knowledge
about the natural and cultural resources of the Putah Creek watershed and to
inspire audiences to actively explore the watershed we live in. Talks will
be interactive and engaging and include information about associated
events. Save the Dates:

- June 14 -- Putah Creek Rocks!
Dave Osleger, UCD Geologist
- July 12 -- Hydrology of Putah Creek.

This seems like a good place to meet and learn about the many issues facing
our beloved watershed as well as meet some of the other people that see the
creek from a different perspective. I will be attending as many events as I can
so I hope to see some of you there.
Charlie
