What does a river sound like when you really listen? Join OARS, with support from Wildlife Acoustics, for an immersive evening inspired by nature’s soundscapes. Hear the voices of our rivers, see their sounds come alive in stunning spectrograms, and discover what these acoustics reveal about the natural world. Bioacoustics researcher Dr. Laura Kloepper will share how sound informs science and uncovers stories we may not see, only discoverable by ear.

Wine, beer, and light bites will be served. Tickets are on sale now!
