SUMMARY:Zoom Webinar: Explore the Majestic Beauty of Alaska’s Prince William Sound
DESCRIPTION:A Zoom Webinar Hosted by the Canyon Democrats \nThursday\, August 6\, at 7:00 p.m. \nJoin author and explorer Debbie Miller as she takes us to glacier-carved fjords and lush forests in Prince William Sound\, sharing images and stories from her book\, “A Wild Promise: Prince William Sound\,” while guiding us through its history. \nNestled between the mountains of the Chugach National Forest in south-central Alaska\, Prince William Sound has the highest concentration of tidewater glaciers in America\, with a coastal wilderness like no other. The Sound is a magnificent and dramatic environment\, inhabited by bears\, salmon\, sea otters\, humpback whales\, puffins and bald eagles.
