Join the Lake Chelan Research Institute to hear geological, environmental, and human stories from the Lake Chelan Watershed, while learning about potential threats to the lake's ecology and opportunities to restore and steward the lake into the future. With aerial and underwater photography from Cashmere's Steven Gnam (National Geographic, Crown of the Continent), and contributions from the Lake Chelan Research Institute's Anna Galipeau and Phil Long, this presentation is sure to provide new perspectives on the ever-changing ecological treasure that is Lake Chelan.
About the presenter: Nate Hough-Snee is a Leavenworth, Washington-based wetland, aquatic, and riparian ecologist who researches and restores ecosystems across the Pacific Northwest. Trained as a researcher, and with a Ph.D. in Ecology from Utah State University's Watershed Sciences Department, Nate is an environmental storyteller at heart. Nate currently spins environmental narratives of the Wenatchee and Entiat watersheds, Lake Chelan, and Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, working with the Lake Chelan Research Institute as a senior scientist and as a consultant through his firm, Meadow Run Environmental. Recently Nate has increasingly focused his attention on understanding how Lake Chelan is changing from periphyton, invasive species, and how threats to the watershed might change the Lake. Most of Nate's ecosystem stories from Lake Chelan are told about water, plants, and people and with enough humor to have a good time.
