What exactly is the West? Is it a territory with distinct borders? An environment or topography? A culture? A myth? Is the West simply a state of mind? These are the conversations we will explore with Winter Fishtrap, a three-day gathering to help develop a greater understanding of our place, ourselves, and each other.

About Winter Fishtrap
Each January, Winter Fishtrap takes on issues that are important to citizens of the West by gathering diverse voices to inspire a greater understanding on a timely theme. Activities include lectures, panel discussions, break-out workshops, and more.
Over the years, this popular program has explored such topics as “The New Agrarians,” “Dams,” “Fire,” “Down Wind, Down River,” and “Water” among many others. Expect a vibrant exchange of ideas and information while making life-long connections.
Winter Fishtrap is takes place in-person at our headquarters in the historic Bowlby Building in Enterprise, Oregon. Contact The Wallowa County Chamber of Commerce to find lodging options to fit most any budget. Can’t make the trip to Wallowa County? Much of the event will also be available virtually.
