Slickrock and Dark Skies: Two Views of Utah Wilderness
Please join us for a free webinar in early December to explore the unique aspects of Utah wilderness with experts Steve Hinch and Lisa Stoner. This event is co-sponsored by Oregonians for Wild Utah and Washington Friends of Wild Utah with support from SUWA.
Tuesday, December 5, 2023, 7:00–8:00 p.m. PST (advance Zoom registration required)
Steve Hinch, a recognized photographer and author on wilderness topics, has explored and recorded the lands of the American Southwest, including southern Utah, for forty years. His most recent, award-winning book is The Slickrock Desert: Journeys of Discovery in an Endangered American Wilderness, Steve considered his frequent expeditions into the wilderness as a necessary counterpoint to his earlier life as a senior executive in Silicon Valley.
Lisa Stoner serves as the coordinator for the Colorado Plateau and Basin & Range Dark Sky Cooperatives at Utah State University. Lisa focuses on outreach, educational programs, partnerships, and technical support to elevate the importance of sustaining naturally dark skies across the Western United States. She received her master’s degree in range ecology from USU.
Please join us on Tuesday, December 5, to delve into these topics around Utah wilderness. You can register in advance via this Zoom page.
