Nature Matters talks
coastal hazards wrought
by climate change
ASTORIA — In the face of a
changing climate, Oregon’s
already dynamic coastal envi-
ronment will continue to see
challenges to development,
infrastructure, recreation and
natural environments. All lev-
els of government, organiza-
tions and individuals are faced
with difficult questions about
how best to prepare, adapt and
mitigate for these challenges.
Meg Reed, the coastal
shores specialist for the
Department of Land Con-
servation and Develop-
ment’s Coastal Management
Program, will address those
dynamics and more 7 p.m.
Thursday, Nov. 9, at a Nature
Matters presentation. The
discussion takes place at the
Fort George’s Lovell Build-
ing showroom in Astoria.
Doors open at 6 p.m. for
those wanting to purchase
dinner or beverages.
The event — which is free
and open to the public — will
examine some of the hazards
coastal communities face and
how climate change factors
into the policies and manage-
ment of coastal resources and
development.
Additionally, the talk
will discuss ways in which
citizens can help provide
coastal managers with local
data through King Tides
photographs to better help
visualize the impacts of sea
level rise.
To find out more about
the King Tides Photo Proj-
ect, visit oregonkingtides.
net.
Nature Matters, a lively
conversation about the inter-
section of nature and culture,
takes place on the second
Thursday of each month
through May. The events are
hosted by Lewis and Clark
National Historical Park in
partnership with the North
Coast Watershed Association,
the Lewis & Clark National
Park Association and Fort
George Brewery.
For more information, call
the park at 503-861-2471 or

Historical Park on Facebook
