Alaskan Adventure: A Sierra Club Talk:

Ygnacio Valley Library
2661 Oak Grove Rd, Wanut Creek
Tuesday, January 20th, 2015
7:00pm – 8:30pm | Free

Come see Alaska through the eyes and lens of botanist, photographer, and author Yulan Tong. Yulan’s presentation will feature photos of the Inland Passage, Denali, Katmai, Glacier Bay National Park and more.

For Yulan, Alaska is a land of surprises and contradictions. She witnessed native peoples building traditional totems, yet traveling around by airplane. She saw fishermen sending their catches to both rustic smoke houses and modern canneries. Yulan was impressed by the contrast of slow growing, small trees in a land of fast growing giant cabbages. She’ll tell us of her canoe trip that required a quick detour because of fighting bears.

Everyone is welcome and no reservations are necessary.
