Doors open at 5:30pm for socializing\, refreshments\, and chowder bowls!\nThe upcoming event en titled “DEEP DIVE: STORIES OF FORESTS &\; WATER” features two modes of storytelling: a reading by writer\, artist\, and activist Roger Dorban d\, and a screening of documentary filmmaker Jesse Clark’s “LIVING LEG ACIES.”\nAbout the Presenters\nRoger Dorband’s forest activism began s everal years ago after discovering new and massive clearcuts along Highway 26\, where once was an intact forest. Sickened\, he channeled his shock i nto action: Dorband began studying Oregon forest management and various as pects of forest silviculture. His research and passion connected him with others with similar interests and goals.\nDorband spent half a decade as c o-lead to the Forest Interest Group in Astoria\, which successfully convin ced Clatsop County Commissioners not to sign onto the billion dollar Linn County timber lawsuit. When the group dissolved\, Dorband and two other ac tivists formed the Forest Vision Project. The Forest Vision Project brough t a number of excellent speakers to Astoria to give talks at Clatsop Commu nity College and mounted a major art exhibition in the gallery featuring a rtists working with the theme of forests. Currently\, Dorband is a steerin g committee member of the recently formed Astoria chapter of North Coast C ommunities for Watershed Protection\, and continues to produce a prolific number of articles related to forestry for Hipfish Monthly\, as well as nu merous letters in the Daily Astorian.\nJesse Clark is an Emmy award-winnin g filmmaker and cinematographer focused on our complex place in the natura l world. His directorial debut with Shane Anderson titled CHEHALIS: A WATE RSHED MOMENT played on PBS in over 20 states and national streaming. Clark most recently worked as cinematographer and feature editor on the Emmy-no minated COVENANT OF THE SALMON PEOPLE\, helping to tell the story of the N ez Perce tribe’s ongoing fight to preserve their lifeways and sacred sal mon.\nHe is now focused on a new series he is writing and directing\, enti tled FOREST STORIES\, an short film series with each episode focused on a particular issue within Pacific Northwest forestry. At the KALA Event\, we will see the first episode of the series\, entitled LIVING LEGACIES.\nSyn opsis for LIVING LEGACIES (23mins\, documentary short):\nA movement is bor n when one community’s drinking water source is threatened – and Washi ngton State must weigh economic gain against the protection of their last tracts of carbon-sequestering mature forests.\nNorth Coast Communities for Watershed Protection is a grassroots group that advocates for the protect ion of drinking water on the Oregon Coast. The non-profit aims to end to l ogging and pesticide spray within and surrounding forested drinking waters heds in the State\, regardless of land ownership.\nWe are dealing with the ramifications of industrial clearcutting and pesticide application. This not only destroys our maturing and old-growth forests\, but also harms our climate\, pollutes our air and drinking water\, and directly impacts our health. It is NCCWP’s hope that this storytelling event will highlight t he important relationship between our forested ecosystem and our access to clean and abundant drinking water on the Oregon Coast.\nTo learn more abo ut NCCWP\, please visit https://healthywatershed.org.\nHere is the LINK TO RSVP for the NCCWP’s DEEP DIVE: STORIES OF FORESTS &\;\nWATER Event! :https://forms.gle/rggfCorzm2p9BCgX8 \nWe look forward to seeing you on M onday\, September 16 at 6:00 p.m\, at KALA Hipfish.
