Presented by: David B. Williams
Tuesday, October 12, 7:00 PM
Please join Skagit Audubon Society on Oct. 12th at 7pm for a presentation by David B. Williams, who will speak about his recently published book, Homewaters: A Human and Natural History of Puget Sound. 
This book tells the story of the Sound, tracing human history from the earliest records more than 12,500 years ago to present. Along the way, Williams discusses Native people, the arrival of explorers and settlers, and how the various inhabitants adapted to place. He weaves in stories of the natural world, covering often overlooked species such as Olympia oysters, rockfish, geoduck, kelp, and herring, as well as the influence of salmon and orca on the Sound.
David B. Williams is an author, naturalist, and tour guide. He is also the author of the book Too High and Too Steep: Reshaping Seattle’s Topography, as well as Seattle Walks: Discovering History and Nature in the City and Stories in Stone: Travels Through Urban Geology.
