Poetry, Place, and Policy

A Watershed Seminar with Obi Kaufmann
Saturday, February 7th · 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Intermountain Nursery, Prather, California
Max 25 Participants

Intermountain Nursery is honored to host a three-hour, small group seminar led by Obi Kaufmann as part of his program for organizations and local communities throughout California.

This gathering is designed as a participatory seminar, not a lecture. It is grounded in regional focus; our foothill watersheds, working landscapes, and living systems, and invites participants into conversation about how ecological knowledge, cultural meaning, and public policy intersect.

Obi Kaufmann

Poet, painter, naturalist, and systems thinker, Obi Kaufmann has become one of the most influential interpreters of California’s living landscape, translating geology, hydrology, fire ecology, forests, coasts, deserts, and water into a body of work that has reshaped how people see this state. His beautiful California Field Atlas series is award-winning, best-selling, serious and accessible, used by scientists, land managers, educators, and everyday Californians. Board member of the California Wilderness Coalition, recipient of the Mark Dubois River Protection Award, frequent collaborator with universities, conservation groups, and national projects, Kaufmann reveals our state as a dynamic, interconnected system worth knowing deeply and defending fiercely.
