You may recall the fascinating image of the Wild and Scenic Rogue River featured on the cover of the fall issue of our Instream newsletter, created through the use of a remote sensing technique called LiDAR, an acronym for Light Detection and Ranging, that uses lasers to create three-dimensional models of the earth’s surface.
The cartographer, photographer, and artist behind that image is Daniel Coe, and he’s produced dozens of similar images using LiDAR technology to create detailed images of rivers and floodplains, including several of the Oregon rivers WaterWatch has spent the last 40 years working on by restoring access for native fish and guaranteeing instream rights for the water flowing in them.
With that in mind, we’d like to invite you to spend an evening with Daniel Coe and WaterWatch on Tuesday, Feb. 25th, at 6 p.m. at the Portland Filson store at 536 NW 13th Ave. This is a free event with registration.
Daniel Coe has designed maps for National Geographic, High Country News, Atlas Obscura, American Scientist and other publications, and will showcase a variety of his images and photography at our event, and share some of the stories behind these remarkable visuals.
Refreshments will be available for this special evening with Daniel Coe, and we’ll have a raffle of WaterWatch material for those in attendance, including a special piece of Daniel Coe’s cartographic art.
If you love maps, rivers, Pacific Northwest nature photography, and a conservation message, join us Tuesday, Feb. 25th, at 6 p.m. at the Portland Filson store at 536 NW 13th Ave. for an evening with Daniel Coe and WaterWatch. Register for this free event today!
