His latest book, Lasting Light: 125 Years of Grand Canyon Photography recently led to an interview in “NewWest The Voice of the Rocky Mountains.” Read Stephen Trimble’s NewWest interview. Steve's bedrock focus is the land — western wildlands and natural history — and he has received significant awards for his photography, his non-fiction, and his fiction. Read Stephen Trimble's biography. (PDF format) The day will begin at 10:30 with tours for our visitors. SCA's Founder Liz Titus Putnam will hold a talk and discussion at noon. A catered lunch begins at 12:45, followed by the Conservation Commencement. The formal part of the day will end at 3:00, but please stay for the afternoon for games and canoeing on the Connecticut River. SCA is also planning other 50th anniversary alumni gatherings around the country! |

Our speaker this year is a real treat. Stephen Trimble is not only a well-respected western photographer, writer and speaker, but he launched his conservation career with SCA! In 1972, he was an intern in Olympic National Park, so as a speaker for our 50th year, he's particularly appropriate, since Olympics was one of our first two sites fifty years ago.
