Photograph a workshop at the Mountaineers HQ, this event is a preview of work being done by the Floodplains by Design program, and their work towards sustainable growth to help protect river lands in Washington.

As our population and economy grows and our climate shifts, dramatic changes have altered the very nature of our river systems. We’ve filled in or cut off wetland habitat that was home to once-plentiful fish and wildlife. We’ve changed the shape and flow of our rivers, disrupting the ancient connection of fresh water to floodplains and the sea. Floodplains by Design works with community partners to coordinate state and federal investments with locally driven solutions, and help find solutions designed by the people whose lives and livelihoods are connected to local floodplains.

The volunteer photographer will be a second shooter for this event. iI’s a classic low light indoor event with speakers, panel discussions and more. Carpool is available from the Seattle Office. If you would like to sign up for this event please fill out the form below!
