Join us for an inspiring presentation and book signing with Amy Gulick, photographer and author of the award-winning book, The Salmon Way: An Alaska State of Mind. With engaging stories and stunning images, Amy will take us to Alaska to explore the remarkable ways of life that wild salmon make possible for people. The Salmon Way: An Alaska State of Mind is the recipient of an Independent Publisher Book Award, a Nautilus Book Award, an INDIES Book of the Year Award, and has been named a Best Indie Book by Kirkus Reviews.
Joseph Bogaard, executive director of Save Our wild Salmon, will follow the presentation and lead a discussion on the most recent developments around our region’s once-in-a-generation opportunity to restore wild salmon and ways of life in the Snake River of the Columbia Basin.Â
This event is co-hosted by ‘art for advocacy’ nonprofit Braided River, conservation nonprofit Save Our wild Salmon and Patagonia Seattle.
Amy Gulick is an award-winning nature photographer and writer, a Fellow with the International League of Conservation Photographers, and a Fellow with The Safina Center. Her images and stories have been featured in Outdoor Photographer, National Wildlife, Audubon and other publications. She is the recipient of the Daniel Housberg Wilderness Image Award from the Alaska Conservation Foundation, the Voice of the Wild Award from the Alaska Wilderness League, and a Lowell Thomas Award from the Society of American Travel Writers Foundation.
Joseph Bogaard first got hooked on Northwest salmon while in graduate school when he authored a paper in the early-1990s, exploring the then-relatively recent Snake River salmon listings under the Endangered Species Act. Joseph began working for Save Our Wild Salmon in 1996 as an organizer, and he’s been its executive director for the last eight years. Before joining SOS, Joseph spent a decade teaching, working and exploring in the lands and waters of the American West - including as a crew leader for the Student Conservation Association, wilderness ranger in the North Cascades, and trail contractor in Washington and Idaho. Today, Joseph lives near Seattle with his partner Amy and children Liesl and Jeremiah.
