Connecting people through place and storytelling Sarah is program manager/host of Sense of Place. Sense of Place (SOP) is an event series that features individuals with unique knowledge of the Columbia River Gorge and who consider the natural and cultural history that has shaped this place. Presenters have included scientists, tribal members, authors, farmers, and many others from throughout the Pacific Northwest. The information and stories shared at these talks deepens our understanding of the Gorge and strengthens our connection to the landscape and to each other.
SOP will celebrate its 15th season in 2024/25. It serves the public via its live events (including livestream), workshops & fieldtrips, and through it's digital archive, which is an online repository of local knowledge that is accessible anytime, anywhere, to anyone for free.
