At 2:00 PM on Wednesday, September 26,  Melaney Dunne, Executive Director of the Coquille Watershed Association will speak at the North Bend Public Library. Her program, “Past and Present: A Journey through the Coquille Watershed,” gives not only a history of the watershed, but a look at sustainable practices in agriculture and forestry. This presentation is part of a series of programs at North Bend Public Library titled “Be Prepared!” The August programming concerned the Cascadia subduction zone, September’s focus has been on environmental concerns, and October will conclude the series with preparedness demonstrations as the library participates in the Great Oregon Shakeout on October 18, and on October 23 at 2:00 PM, Michael Murphy will return to talk about emergency preparedness.
