Explore the American Arctic with Lynda Mapes

June 18 at 7:30pm, Town Hall Seattle, (Wyncote NW Forum)

Join NSWA Vice President and veteran journalist Mapes alongside longtime Arctic defenders for a multifaceted presentation on the wonder of public lands along the Arctic Circle in Alaska and the risks they face under a new agenda under the Trump administration.

The evening will open with an excerpt from the film The Arctic: Our Last Great Wilderness then Lynda will discuss her own recent reporting  in the Arctic, with photography from the field taken in the actively threatened National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. Learn why everyone is connected to what happens next in America’s Arctic—and what you can do to protect it.
