Burke Museum Reception and Climate Change Exhibit
Monday, August 11, 2008, 5:00-7:00 PM
The Last Polar Bear: Facing the Truth of a Warming World
The polar bear—a charismatic icon in the struggle against climate change—faces a precarious future along with other ice dependent species as its Arctic habitat rapidly continues to melt away. With camera in hand, wildlife photographer Steven Kazlowski has dedicated over eight years of work to bring to life the immediate reality of this most pressing environmental crisis—the devastation of the Arctic ecosystem through global warming.
If you are interested in attending the reception and exhibit, please let us know on your registration form.
High Point Tour
Wednesday, August 13, 2008, 1:00-5:00 PM
Once a neglected public housing project, Seattle's High Point is now a 120-acre, ecologically-conscious, planned neighborhood featuring mixed housing for sale and rentals, facilities for seniors, a new branch library, a community center, health clinics, and neighborhood shopping areas. Protecting the environment, preparing for emergencies, and promoting the public's health are essential and integral aspects of the new High Point community.
If you are interested in taking the High Point tour, please let us know on your registration form.
