If corporations can have the rights of people under the law, why not rivers? The question made sense to Will Falk, and he answered it yes.
Falk is a lawyer, and he got to represent the Colorado River in a lawsuit. So he spent time along the river, in something of a conversation with it.
Falk tells the story in his book How Dams Fall. He visits to talk about his journey along the river and into the courtroom.
Will is on a tour of Western Oregon; he'll be at the Roseburg library Thursday (March 12) at 6:30 and at the Eugene Garden Club Friday (March 13) at 6:30.
