Formation of the Salish Sea Landscape: A Brief History for Landowners

Elliott Menashe of Greenbelt Consulting has prepared an informative, self-directed lecture on the processes which shaped and influence our region. Click here to view the slideshow!


From the introductory slide:

Do you want to learn more about the Salish Sea region? Are you curious about the geological forces which formed the region, and the processes which continue to shape and influence the land and shorelines? Have you wondered about the human actions which have influenced and impacted the landscape in the recent past? Then this presentation was created for you. It will help you understand how the landscape which surrounds you came to be, especially if you live on the edge –where the land meets the sea. The author hopes the information will help you understand the dynamic nature of the Salish Sea and provide a basis upon which you may better contemplate how best to manage your beachfront or bluff property.
