Celebration of the Species: Oysters!! @ Olympia Timberland Library

Apr 24 @ 6:30 pm – 7:45 pm

We are celebrating the return of Olympia’s Procession of the Species with a special program about Oysters!!

Get to know the Pacific Northwest’s most beloved bivalve: the oyster. In this talk, author David George Gordon discusses three species— the Olympia, Eastern, and Pacific oysters— along with the people who have cultivated these delicacies for many generations. Learn about the Native American sea gardens and clam beds that existed 11,500 years ago, as well as the contemporary efforts in our state to cultivate oysters, both native and introduced. Along the way, learn about the many surprising innovations that have made oysters such an enduringly popular and environmentally sustainable food. As the old saying goes: when the tide is out, the table is set.

This event is sponsored by Humanities Washington.
