The mission of the Yachats Academy of Arts & Sciences is to provide educational and entertainment opportunities for people on the central Oregon coast. Sponsored by Polly Plumb Productions, we encourage the residents of the village of Yachats, Oregon to work with Academy board members to organize those events that they judge to be most enjoyable.
Dr. Bob Lillie draws on his experience as a geology professor, park ranger and graphic illustrator to reveal how the mountains, valleys, and coastlines of our national parks form.
Using plate-tectonic concepts he explains how the landscapes of parks around the country compare to those familiar to us in the Pacific Northwest.
