  • Kennecott Rec Hall McCarthy, AK (map)

During this two day weekend event, participants will engage with the inspirational, cultural, and foundational relationships to place in the Wrangell Mountains through community discussion, and presentations in the arts and sciences.

“Stories of Our Landscapes” Art Exhibit by Karolina Zakravska will be open both days in the Kennecott Recreation Hall from 9am-5pm

Day 1: Changes in the Land, Panel-led Community Discussion

July 27 @ 6pm - Kennecott Rec Hall

Facilitated by NPS Geologist, Mike Loso

Unfortunately, our special guest, Wilson Justin, had to cancel due to a family emergency. The panel discussion will start promptly at 6pm!

Join us in a panel-led community discussion about the observed changes in our landscapes. By opening up a space to allow McCarthy-Kennicott locals to tell their stories of the changes in our landscapes, we can create bridges across communities and experience a deeper connection grounded in our relationship to place. We seek to hold inclusive discussions, and honor the diverse voices of area residents who have observed our landscapes for generations. All attendee voices and landscape observations are welcome during the discussion. We want to hear from you!

We welcome panelists:

Jeannie Miller, Sally Gibert, Paul Claus, Chris Larsen, and Zach Barrett
