Braided River is working on a book and campaign featuring the beautiful North Cascades.
Braided River is raising funds to support publication of a book that will bring the North Cascades alive through vivid imagery and stories. Through citizen activism, Washington’s North Cascades National Park was created over 40 years ago. However, magnificent mountains, lowland old growth forests, and pristine rivers in the North Cascades that many people believe to be inside the national park boundaries or federally designated wilderness areas remain unprotected. We must do all we can to protect and preserve these valued lands before they are irreversibly lost to resources extraction, power development, and motorized recreation.The Mountaineers and other conservation groups aim to finish this work, and expand the park to protect scenic landscapes not included in the original designation. The book will be just the beginning of a robust campaign that will include events, media, exhibits, and more—all based on beautiful images and stories of this magnificent landscape. Braided River will collaborate with The Mountaineers and numerous regional grassroots organizations that will rely on the book as a useful media tool for the overall campaign. Publication will be in 2011 or 2012. TO DONATE TO THE NORTH CASCADES PROJECT, CLICK THE DONATE BUTTON ON THE RIGHT HAND PANEL. |
