Author Talk and Slide Show – State of Change: Forgotten Landscapes of California

We are delighted to welcome author and naturalist Laura Cunningham, who will discuss her book A State of Change: forgotten landscapes of California. Ms. Cunningham has not only written the text but has also lavishly illustrated this lovely book about California. She has written and painted a picture of what California was like before European contact. Picture El Cerrito Plaza filled with Grizzly bears digging for ground squirrels and gophers, or the Delta a thousand years ago. This historical look at California is filled with lovely watercolor pictures that give an idea what our state looked like eons ago.
