Opening Reception: Following Fire, A Resilient Forest / An Uncertain Future

World Forestry Center presents Following Fire, A Resilient Forest / An Uncertain Future. In September 2020, the Holiday Farm Fire, driven by fierce east winds, burned 173,000 acres along the forested McKenzie River canyon in the Cascade Range of Oregon. Two months later, in an impulsive response, photographer David Paul Bayles and disturbance ecologist Frederick Swanson began a photography project to document the stark beauty of the burned forest and its vibrant response to fire. The event will be held in the art gallery of the Discovery Museum and the artists will be present. Please RSVP to save your free spot.
