With all the news about water supply and the Carmel River, it’s easy to lose sight of the riparian environment itself—the river that pulses like blood from its Santa Lucia headwaters to the mouth of Carmel Valley, giving life to the entire Monterey Peninsula. Today’s celebration (intentionally near International Rivers Day, World Water Day and the Spring Equinox) honors and recognizes the river’s value from the time of its earliest Ohlone inhabitants to present. Participate in an opening ritual at the Birthing Rock, hike along the river, share poetry and reflect, closing with ceremony at the Carmel Lagoon. The event, sponsored by the Carmel River Watershed Conservancy, is a collaboration Passion for Place author Paola Berhoin and Green Heart Works founder Marie Butcher. [KA]
