August 23, 2008, 9 AM: First Walk: The ceremonial opening of the Vancouver Land Bridge, Washington. The beautiful Vancouver Land Bridge, the second Confluence Project site, is now complete. Please help us celebrate with an inaugural walk across this beautiful earth-covered pedestrian bridge that arcs over State Highway 14. We’ll start at historic Fort Vancouver and stroll south toward Old Apple Tree Park, taking in the view and the regional plantings along the way. Join artist Maya Lin, lead architect Johnpaul Jones, and distinguished colleagues and public figures for a brief ceremony underscoring the link between the sparkling Columbia River and the people of this region. 4 PM: A dedication of the third completed Confluence Project site, the bird blind at the Sandy River DeltaTake a family-friendly one-mile walk to the completed elliptical bird blind on the quiet, reflective Sandy River Delta. This new sanctuary—rising among the trees at the water’s edge—is the third completed project for the Confluence Project. After our visit to the bird blind, we’ll hear remarks by artist Maya Lin and other participants, then cool off from the summer’s heat with an old-fashioned ice cream social.
