SUMMARY:Unlocking the Power of the Grid: Oregon’s Next Big Energy Opportunity
DESCRIPTION:How can we best harness all the clean and efficient energy needed to power our lives? What investments are needed to upgrade the aging power grid? \nPresenters at OEC’s next Business and Environment Forum will share how large-scale solutions (regional energy markets) and small-scale systems (local micro-grids and battery storage) are both needed for clean energy. They will also discuss how federal and state programs can accelerate the use of not only proven\, but also emerging\, clean and efficient technologies.

SUMMARY:Know Underground: Soil Health Presentation at The Environmental Center
DESCRIPTION:The soil beneath our feet is teeming with life. Join Garden Educator Denise Rowcroft at The Environmental Center’s Learning Garden to get your hands dirty learning about soil. You’ll discuss the four principles of creating and maintaining healthy soil\, and you’ll leave with hands-on practical ways to improve your garden or just protect the biodiversity in your yard. Folx meet outside in the Kansas Avenue Learning Garden. In case of inclement weather\, you will head inside The Environmental Center for a slideshow presentation.

SUMMARY:Small Splendors\, Vast Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Continuing ONDA’s High Desert Speaker Series\, Ellen Bishop will present “Small Splendors\, Vast Landscapes.” Oregon’s deserts offer serene and yet provocative landscapes that invite contemplation. Yet sometimes\, in viewing their sweeping vistas\, we overlook the details that provide insight to their origins. These micro views of a macro landscape tell stories of epic floods\, volcanic explosions\, violent storms and more\, as well as providing an entree to wildlife that we may overlook. Ellen’s image-rich talk is a guide to how we can read the details in these treasured landscapes that are precious to us all. \n*Registration will open on February 15 and close two hours before the event begins.
