"The Wilderness of Denali 100"

In 1907, Charles Sheldon spent a year in the wilds of Alaska, in what we now know as Denali National Park. His work documenting the wildlife and landscapes led him to become a primary advocate for the park's creation, which came about in 1917. Shortly after his death in 1928, Sheldon's widow published THE WILDERNESS OF DENALI, which detailed his experiences from July 1906 to June 1908. One hundred years after that historic trip, Willie Karidis decided to trace Sheldon's path. He took a hiatus from his position as Executive Director of the Denali Education Center, adjacent to the park, and spent 61 days in the middle of winter to learn all he could about Denali, the wilderness experience, and ultimately, himself.

Karidis shares his experience with a 50 minute power point presentation which includes photos and High Definition movie clips from his adventure.

Admission $5.

February 5, 7 PM, in the Barn at Barn Beach Reserve

Presented by Wendy Gibble, RareCare Program Manager.
