Connecting People Through Place and Storytelling

Sense of Place (SOP) features people 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.

“Sense of Place is one of the best things happening in the Gorge. It lets all of us, long-time residents and newcomers, learn more about — and care more deeply about — this place and the people who call it home." - SOP Sponsor
