CRCL Lecture Series - Mike Tidwell

 Registration is closed for this event
CRCLectures is a bmonthly series hosted by the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana. The lectures are free.

Our speaker in April is Mike Tidwell. Mike predicted in vivid detail the Hurricane Katrina disaster in his award-winning 2003 book Bayou Farewell: The Rich Life and Tragic Death of Louisiana’s Cajun Coast (Pantheon/Vintage). Tidwell considers south Louisiana his second home after “boat hitchhiking” through the bayous, working as a deck hand on shrimp boats and crab boats and falling in love with the wetlands and Cajun culture. Tidwell is the author of five other books, including The Ravaging Tide, In the Mountains of Heaven and The Ponds of Kalambayi. A former National Endowment for the Arts fellow, Tidwell has published his work in Audubon, National Geographic Traveler, Reader’s Digest, Washingtonian and many other publications. His frequent articles for The Washington Post have earned him four Lowell Thomas Awards, the highest prize in American travel journalism. A passionate conservationist, he is founder and director of the Chesapeake Climate Action Network. He lives in Takoma Park, Maryland, with his wife and their cat, Macy Gray.

The lecture, the third in our series, will be held from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on April 18 at the Bayou Terrebonne Waterlife Museum, 7910 W Park Ave, Houma, LA 70364.

The event will include light snacks and refreshments.
