SUMMARY:Fire-wise Landscaping
DESCRIPTION:As the Western United States population continues to grow\, more and more homes are creeping into forest and rangeland areas called the wildland urban interface. The number of wildfires in combination with this urban sprawl can potentially increase the number of fire-prone landscapes. Learn more about creating a fire-wise landscape. In this class you will learn about fire behavior basics\, ways to reduce the fuel load\, ways to design your landscape in the home ignition zone\, characteristics of fire-resistant plants\, and plant selection for your fire-wise design.

SUMMARY:Let Giants Grow: Biden's Executive Order on Forests and Climate
DESCRIPTION:Last week\, President Biden signed an Executive Order that recognized the importance of mature and old-growth forests as a climate solution but stopped short of protecting these forests from their #1 threat: logging across federal public lands. \nSo what does this order actually do? \nOn May 4th\, representatives from the Climate Forests campaign will unpack the details of this announcement: the good\, the bad\, and the steps forest and climate activists will need to take to ensure this executive order results in a responsible\, substantial\, climate-focused policy that actually protects our mature and old-growth forests for future generations.

SUMMARY:Letting Trees Grow for Wildlife
DESCRIPTION:Hundreds of threatened and endangered wildlife species rely on mature and old-growth forests. The northern spotted owl\, marbled murrelet\, and Coho salmon are some of the most high-profile cases\, but there are many other species that also call these forests home across the country and are imperiled by commercial logging and other development. \nJoin Oregon Wild\, Environment America\, and Portland Audubon to learn more about our climate forests and endangered species that depend on them.

SUMMARY:Building a Climate-Resilient Future: Innovative Design and New Public Policies
DESCRIPTION:Oregon’s second-largest source of climate pollution comes from the energy we use to heat\, cool\, and operate offices\, commercial businesses\, homes\, and public buildings. These same buildings are also a line of defense against climate threats like extreme heat and wildfire smoke. Buildings are therefore an essential component in combating climate change and protecting us from the threats that are already here. Smart buildings also use less energy and can make operating buildings and homes more affordable. \nThis event will explore what sustainable building innovators are doing here in Oregon to raise the bar for climate-smart buildings\, how more progressive building policies and incentives can facilitate this important transition\, and what our workforce’s needs and protections are going forward.
