Seek Higher Ground: The Natural Solution to Our Urgent Flooding Crisis

Seek Higher Ground: The Natural Solution to Our Urgent Flooding Crisis
Join Vermont River Conservancy for the first of three 30th Anniversary Virtual River Tours as we welcome award winning author and photographer Tim Palmer to virtually present stunning photos and poignant stories alongside his new book, Seek Higher Ground: The Natural Solution to Our Urgent Flooding Crisis.
With graphic photos and engaging narrative, Tim will share how the nation’s efforts to control floods through dam and levee construction have been, at best, inadequate, and how the endless cycle of floods, damage, recovery, and repeated losses can best be ended through the protection of open space on floodplains and through voluntary relocation of homes and businesses from hazard-prone areas. He’ll show how the warming climate is making flood dangers worse, and how an improved response is essential if widespread disasters are to be avoided in the future.
