Pete McBride at Fox Cities Performing Arts Center in Appleton, WI on April 30, 2024
“Freshwater Hero” Pete McBride will be giving a lecture titled, Into the Canyon: Between River and Rim at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center as part of our Student Speaker Series, produced in collaboration with Changemaker Talent.
Native Coloradan Pete McBride has spent two decades studying the world with a camera, documenting remote expeditions from Everest to Antarctica. But, it was his time photographing the Colorado and Ganges rivers that led the National Geographic Society to dub him the “Freshwater Hero”.
Pete will share stories from his expedition across 1,500 river-miles of the Colorado River. His talk stresses the importance of preserving and protecting our waterways, showing students that “rivers are the arteries of the planet; they’re our lifelines.”
