The evening will feature Amy Peterson, a longtime mushroom forager and educator. Amy is a third-generation (Sansei) Japanese American whose family has foraged matsutake mushrooms for nearly a century. She will share the deep cultural and natural history of the matsutake mushroom, a species that thrives in symbiosis with the pine trees of the Gorge.
Sense of Place is excited to announce the lineup for the 15th Annual Sense of Place Series. This season will feature a wide range of topics ranging from the cultural legacy of matsutake mushrooms to the history of mountain biking in Post Canyon. All events will be offered in-person at the Columbia Center for the Arts in Hood River, Oregon, and via livestream.
Join us Saturday, September 14th, 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM at The Bingen Theater to learn about the historic feuds, present-day heroes, and paranormal encounters that make this place special.
