This calendar is the place to find fun events happening throughout Grays Harbor County including Aberdeen, Hoquiam, Westport, Ocean Shores, Elma, Montesano and beyond.
The public is invited to “Changing Shorelines” – a science forum – on Tuesday November 17th to learn about coastal hazards in Grays Harbor and Pacific counties. Top scientists will present recent studies about coastal erosion, flooding, and sea-level rise, and will bring in specific discussion of what this means for coastal Washington. This free and educational event will allow participants to interact with scientists and the science, and leave with a better understanding about coastlines. Light dinner will be provided. Event is free. Location is the Schermer Building, room 4134 at Grays Harbor Community College, 6-8 pm.
For more information, please contact Casey Dennehy at 360-556-6509 or casey@surfrider.org. Walk-ins welcome. Registration is encouraged, but not required!
Bill Brookreson, chair of the South Sound Chapter of the Washington Native Plants Society will begin the day with a talk at the Grays Harbor Community College where we will learn the ins and outs of our unique coastal ecosystems. Then we will head out into one of CRBLT’s most beautiful properties to shine a new light on the flora of our PNW coastal lowlands. Prepare for a short drive (carpooling is encouraged!) from the Grays Harbor College to our 175-acre surge plains to enjoy a beautiful nature walk. Be sure to bring rain gear, boots, or sunscreen as needed for a walk in unpredictable weather!
