Nature Nights: American Pikas and Climate Change
2022-03-30 | Deschutes Brewery Public House, 1044 NW Bond St, Bend, OR, 97701, United States
Save the date! The Land Trust is pleased to present their 2022 Nature Nights series.
You might know the America pika as a fuzzy little creature that chirps and runs away with grass in its mouth while you’re hiking in the mountains, but they are oh so much more than that! Join the Deschutes Land Trust and Dr. Matt Shinderman, director of the Human and Ecosystem Resilience and Sustainability Lab at OSU-Cascades, for a talk on these intriguing creatures and how they are adapting to major challenges like climate change. Dr. Shinderman will share the results of a five-year study of American pikas in the Pacific Northwest that suggests that they can persist in lower elevation landscapes in our high desert, despite their moniker as a high alpine species. Matt will also include lessons learned from other long-term monitoring efforts, and offer solutions for how we can all help pikas thrive into the future.
*This presentation is free and registration will open on February 28th.
