SUMMARY:Wild Wednesday Event: What's With All The Stumps?
DESCRIPTION:Have you noticed all of the logging happening near the Phil’s trail complex and other favorite nearby trails in central Oregon?  If you’re like us\, you might have thought some of it looked fine and some looked too aggressive. Join Oregon Wild in Bend on March 27 for a discussion about what’s going on with all the logging on the Deschutes National Forest. How do these forest management decisions impact recreation\, wildlife\, climate change\, and fire risk?  We’ll explore what’s happening in our local forests\, its impacts\, and how you can engage to influence what happens in the future.

SUMMARY:Climate Protection Program Public Hearing Prep Event
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to make a difference for Oregon’s climate AND communities? The Climate Protection Program (CPP) – which requires oil and gas companies to cut their pollution by 90% by 2050\, and will provide ~$150 million of investments into Oregon’s communities – needs YOUR help. The CPP is on the path to restoration after being invalidated in Dec of 2023 due to oil & gas industry lawsuits. DEQ is hosting a public hearing on Aug 21 at 4:00 p.m. for Oregonians to chime in with their thoughts about this critical program. The oil & gas industry will stop at nothing to derail the restoration of this program\, so it’s vital that DEQ hear a groundswell of support for restoring the CPP’s essential climate and community protections by the end of this year. If you want to testify in support of Oregon’s cornerstone CPP\, but just don’t know what to say – this event is the perfect event for you! \nJoin the Coalition for Climate & Economic Justice at this special PUBLIC HEARING PREP EVENT on Aug 19 from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. to; learn more about the CPP\, learn how to join the public hearing and craft your testimony\, and ask questions of organizers who regularly testify during public hearings like this. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Green Building Tour 2024
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE! \nThe Green Building Tour is a showcase for real-world solutions that address the climate impact of buildings in Central Oregon. From architects and contractors to DIYers\, the tour’s sites illuminate how high performance structures can be healthy\, cost effective\, and impactful options for all. Green buildings’ benefits are often invisible to both consumers in addition to building sector professionals. The Green Building Tour addresses this by connecting attendees with the tools and know-how that break down barriers to building more sustainably. This highly anticipated event brings building better enthusiasts into conversation with one another about paths to climate-resilient living. \nFor the 22nd year of the Green Building Tour we are excited to try a slightly different structure. Themes include Building Dense Livable Cities\, Electrification\, Water Resiliency in the High Desert\, and Healthy Materials Life Cycle Analysis (LCA). The Environmental Center will host participants for a full day of theme-based activities on September 28th. Part I: Summit – From 9:00 to 1:00 community members gather at OSU Cascades\, Tykeson Hall for featured speakers\, community workshops\, and educational booths. Part II: Tour – From 1:00-5:00 pm\, we’ll see themes demonstrated in the field with a tour of four community sites that highlight local energy-saving solutions that connect to our themes. The Green Building Tour will inspire attendees to take action wherever they are on their journey to living more sustainably. \n \nREGISTER HERE
