Science Pub - Willamette Valley Project 50th Anniversary

"Willamette Valley Project - 50th Anniversary" presented by Erik Petersen, US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Operations Project Manager for Portland District’s Willamette Valley Project, will be the topic of our July Science Pub. In this talk, Mr. Petersen will explain the history of the Project’s thirteen dams and reservoirs and discuss current challenges faced by USACE managers in their maintenance and operations. The Coast Fork Willamette Watershed Council (CFWWC) hosts a family-friendly monthly public meeting series called the Coast Fork Science Pub on the fourth Tuesday of each month from 5-7pm at the Axe & Fiddle, 657 E. Main Street in Cottage Grove. The event begins with informal socializing, trivia, and updates about the watershed and watershed council during the first hour. The Science Pub presentation begins at 6pm. CFWWC receives 10% of all sales from the evening between 5-7:30pm. The event is free to the public, with a $5 donation suggested.
