After 24 years of active publication - the Cascadia Times, an online environmental magazine based in Portland, will formally launch the return of its print edition at an upcoming party in Old Town. The newspaper was first published in 1995, though the print version ceased in 2009.

Featured speaker is Dominick DellaSala, president and chief scientist of the Geos Institute, an Ashland-based group working on the climate change crisis.

The party takes place at the Mercy Corps Building, 45 S.W. Ankeny St. in Portland, on Thursday, Jan. 31, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Appetizers, beer and wine will be provided.

Cascadia Times tackles investigations of environmental issues in the Pacific Northwest and North Pacific.
