HRVRC is honored to sponsor this Gorge Owned lecture on the roots of Oregon’s conservation movement from one of its earliest activists.

In his book, In the Thick of It: My Life in the Sierra Club, McClosky traces Oregon’s conservation movement from the 1880s to 2013. Learn about the key players and the impacts their work had on making Oregon one of the country’s most innovative states for environmental conservation.
