Castor Canadensis in the Beaver State
2019-11-20 | Deschutes Brewery Public House, 1044 NW Bond St, Bend, OR, 97701, United States
BeaverWorks Oregon will overview the profound influence beavers have had on our landscape’s ecosystems. As a keystone species, beavers forestall drought, flooding, wildfire, extinction and the ravages of climate change. Busy as a beaver, eager beaver, beavering away—there’s a reason this critter has inspired such appraisals. As we learn about their lifecycle, habitat requirements, vulnerability and needed protections, BeaverWorks Oregon will share the challenges of restoring beaver to watersheds in Oregon and other western states.

Free and open to the public.

2022-04-05
Upper Deschutes Watershed Council is coordinating a six-part informational speaker series about Whychus Creek and its watershed! They are working with natural resource partners to present an educational watershed series for community members to learn about the history, hydrology, habitat conditions, native fish, water conservation, stream restoration activities, and ways that YOU can become an engaged steward for Whychus Creek. They will coordinate each session with presentations from their partners from the Deschutes National Forest, Deschutes River Conservancy, Oregon Water Resource Department, the Fly FIsher’s Place, the City of Sisters, Three Sisters Irrigation District, and others. The series will culminate with an in-person tour of restoration projects along Whychus Creek.
The speaker series will be held at the Sisters Library. All presentations will be delivered in-person with a virtual attendance option. The Whychus Watershed Tour will be held outside in-person. Pre-registration is required.
