Friends of Plumas Wilderness were honored to host

Friends of Plumas Wilderness were honored to host a presentation by Dr. Beth Rose Middleton Manning on her research of inequity, historical trauma, and environmental health in the Upper Feather River Watershed at the Town Hall Theater in downtown Quincy, on April 24, 2023.

Dr. Middleton Manning's books, "Upstream: Trust Lands and Power on the Feather River" and "Trust In The Land: New Directions in Tribal Conservation", focus on the displacement of Indigenous individuals and groups, Native land conservancies and Native conservation movements. Both books are available via University of Arizona press at www.uapress.arizona.edu (reach out to us via direct message for discount code!)

During the event we raised $270.25 to support rebuilding efforts of the Roundhouse Council Inc in Greenville, CA!

Stay tuned for more of our #SpeakerSeries events in the fall!

Up next in June, we will be partnering with Plumas Audubon Society for our first #FieldTrip of the year!
