We have some exciting presentations coming up this month hosted by the Wahkiakum Outdoors and the Community Center. The first one is on Wednesday, April 18 from 2-4 p.m., in the dining room at the church previously known as the Cathlamet Congregational Church. The presentation is “Traditional Foods of Wahkiakum County Landscapes,” by Carrie Backman. Carrie will be talking about local plant uses and preparations and how to identify traditional foods in our surroundings. If weather allows, we’ll take a short walk to investigate Cathlamet’s food plants nearby.

Our second presentation comes to you through Humanities Washington, “The Razor’s Edge: The Washington Razor Clam Phenomenon,” by author David Berger. This will be on Saturday, April 28 at 6:30 p.m., in the River Street Meeting Room.
