Program: A Visual Journey through Carrizo Plain National Monument

Date & Time

Wednesday, October 27, 2021
7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

Program Description

In 2006, during Chuck Graham’s first trip to the Carrizo Plain National Monument, the landscape of “California’s Serengeti” captured his imagination. However, he didn’t envision he would self-publish a photo book of these stunning grasslands 15 years later. He now has a collection of images from the last of California’s grasslands, time spent in the field chasing light, patiently waiting for wildlife to emerge and anticipating the next Super Bloom. The publication of “Carrizo Plain-Where the Mountains Meet the Grasslands” coincided with the 20-year anniversary of the National Monument in January 2021.

Presented by Chuck Graham

Chuck Graham is a freelance writer and photographer who has spent the last 15 years photographing the last of California’s semi-arid grasslands- the Carrizo Plain National Monument. His devotion to this unique grassland biome culminated into his first book, Carrizo Plain, Where The Mountains Meet The Grasslands in November 2020. His work has also appeared in National Geographic for Kids, National Geographic Books, Natural History, American Forests, BBC Wildlife Magazine, Canoe & Kayak, Backpacker and the Washington Post.
