the Spring Creek Project Mission:
The challenge of the Spring Creek Project is to bring together the practical wisdom of the environmental sciences, the clarity of philosophical analysis, and the creative, expressive power of the written word, to find new ways to understand and re-imagine our relation to the natural world.
Upcoming Events
Book Launch:
In the Blast Zone: Catastrophe and Renewal on Mount St. Helens
7:30 pm, Friday, May 16 OSU Valley Library Rotunda Please join us for readings by Charles Goodrich, Frederick J. Swanson, and Kathleen Dean Moore, Tony Vogt
Most popular accounts of the momentous 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens have focused on the devastation it caused. More recent scientific work on the volcano tells a story of unexpectedly rapid and varied ecological and geological change. In the Blast Zone is the first book to present a cross-pollination of literary and scientific perspectives on the mountain’s history of cataclysm and renewal.
