Red Barn Event: Geologic Fluids and Plant Life

Join us for a Red Barn Event offered jointly by the Wenatchee Valley Chapter of the Washington Native Plant Society and the Wenatchee River Institute.

Four geologic fluids have influenced the local availability of water, the fluid most associated with plant life. Flow of the Earth’s mantle over the last 40 million years, humongous lava flows 16 million years ago, flow of glacial ice about 16,000 years ago, and air flow have all shaped the north-central Washington landscape. The effects of these fluids govern how water moves in and through our landscape, thereby shaping our plant communities.

Ralph Haugerud has been studying the geology of the Pacific NW for over 50 years. He is a Seattle native, a graduate of WWU and UW, and a research geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey. He lives in Wenatchee.

This is a FREE event with a donation basket at the door.
Doors open at 6:30pm for a community social with beer and wine available for purchase. The presentation will start at 7:00pm.
All Red Barn Events are now hybrid, you may join us in person in the Red Barn or livestream virtually via Zoom.

Address: 347 Division Street, Leavenworth, WA 98826
