SUMMARY:Fire in Pacific Northwest Forests: Past\, Present\, and Future
DESCRIPTION:Oregon Fire is a powerful elemental force that is certainly dangerous to people and property across the Pacific Northwest. But does fire actually destroy our forests\, or is it a vital ingredient of a healthy ecosystem? And how has the role of fire changed in the face of climate change? \nThese important questions are the subject of an upcoming free\, four-part educational webinar series— “Fire in Pacific Northwest Forests: Past\, Present\, and Future”—presented by Great Old Broads for Wilderness (“Broads”) and hosted by the Rogue Valley\, Cascade Volcanoes\, Willamette Valley\, and Central Oregon Bitterbrush chapters. \nThese Zoom-based webinars\, featuring expert forest and wildfire scientists and practitioners\, will take a closer look at the historical role of fire in the Pacific Northwest’s forested landscapes\, and how that role has changed with human management. \nThe first session: “Fire in the Forest: A Natural Process and Unnatural Changes”— Participants will learn about the natural role that fires play in forested landscapes and ecosystems in the region\, and how climate change and human management has altered those roles—from the use of fire by indigenous people to modern systematic fire suppression.  \nThese sessions are free and open to all\, but space is limited. Broads kindly asks for a suggested $10 donation to support their continued on-the-ground grassroots advocacy work.\nA Spanish-translated video of highlights from each webinar will be available in April. Contact katya@greatoldbroads.org directly for further information.

But does fire actually destroy our forests\, or is it a vital ingredient of a healthy ecosystem? And how has the role of fire changed in the face of climate change? \nThese important questions are the subject of an upcoming free\, four-part educational webinar series— “Fire in Pacific Northwest Forests: Past\, Present\, and Future”—presented by Great Old Broads for Wilderness (“Broads”) and hosted by the Rogue Valley\, Cascade Volcanoes\, Willamette Valley\, and Central Oregon Bitterbrush chapters. \nThese Zoom-based webinars\, featuring expert forest and wildfire scientists and practitioners\, will take a closer look at the historical role of fire in the Pacific Northwest’s forested landscapes\, and how that role has changed with human management. \nThe second session: “When the Smoke Clears: Natural Regeneration and Post-Fire Management in Our Forests”—Participants will explore how fires lead to natural regeneration of forests\, how human management after a fire impacts this process\, and what implications this has for biodiversity\, natural ecosystems\, and our climate. \nThese sessions are free and open to all\, but space is limited.

SUMMARY:Webcast: Inside the (virtual) Oregon Legislative session
DESCRIPTION:Every other year the Oregon Legislature convenes a “regular session” – meeting for five months to consider thousands of bills on hundreds of topics. The pandemic has turned this year’s “regular” session into anything but a regular affair\, with the capital closed and almost all legislative business switched to a remote environment. \nThe silver lining of this digital legislative session is that it’s actually made some aspects of participating in the legislative process easier for the average Oregonian. If you live in Wallowa County or Central Oregon\, you can skip the multi-hour drive to Salem and testify on issues that matter to you from the comfort of your couch. And with numerous bills proposed that either protect or harm Oregon’s forests\, wildlife\, and waters\, we need educated and activated Oregonians to weigh in. But where to start? \nLuckily\, Oregon Wild staff are ready to give you the full scoop on a slate of bills that impact Oregon’s natural treasures. They’ll cover it all. The good (protecting beavers from trapping). The bad (killing predators). The ugly (OFRI!). And the bizarre (trust us\, it’s the Oregon Legislature…there is plenty of bizarre).
