Presented by Kristina Disney
Delve into the journals of an 18th-century naturalist who helped "discover" the Pacific Northwest, shepherding in a new era of colonization in the area. In the first two parts of this series, Expedition Leader Kristina Disney introduced us to explorer Georg Steller (and the many animals that are named for him) and described what the marine ecosystem of the Pacific Northwest was like before the arrival of European settlers. In the third installment, discover how those long-ago explorations and colonization affected the ecology of the Pacific Northwest through fur trapping and other activities.
