Andrea Scharf, local author and one of the founders of View the Future, will donate proceeds from the sale of her book, Saving Big Creek: How a Persistent Group of Activists Blocked a Multi-Million Dollar Resort, Rescued an Endangered Butterfly, and Expanded Opportunities for Citizen Involvement in Land Use Decisions in Oregon.
Published in 2018, the book still resonates with anyone interested in preserving and protecting the natural beauty surrounding Yachats. The campaign to save Big Creek succeeded only because the community never gave up—and it took almost 35 years!
Saving Big Creek is available at Mari’s Books & More in Yachats, from www.savingbigcreek.com, or by contacting Andrea directly at savingbigcreek@gmail.com.
