In the Country of the Kaw: Loving a Watershed
In his recently published book, In the Country of the Kaw (University of Kansas Press), Jim Locklear profiles the natural and cultural wonders within the watershed of the Kaw (Kansas) River, which arises on the High Plains of Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska and joins the Missouri River in Kansas City. His presentation will give an overview of geology, landforms, woodlands, prairies, wildlife, and other aspects of natural history of the region, as well as how people past and present have interacted with the land. He will also highlight inspiring work in conservation, restoration, and revitalization in communities natural and human.
