SUMMARY:Webcast: Geology and Natural History of the John Day River Basin
DESCRIPTION:The geology of the John Day basin is complex and records a rich history of changing environments including deep oceans\, subtropical rainforests\, temperate forests\, and sagebrush steppes. Volcanic and tectonic activity in the region not only built the land that we see today\, but also helps us to know the age of the rocks that the land is built from. The John Day River and its tributaries\, both current and ancestral\, have helped to expose many of these rocks and to even deposit some of them\, allowing us to learn and explore these stories. The John Day River basin is critical to our understanding of the past of the region which is preserved through a variety of public and private land. \nJoin us on April 3rd at 6pm as we welcome Nicholas Famoso\, Paleontology Program Manager for the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument\, to take us on a journey through the geologic and natural history of the John Day River basin. \nWe will be raffling off a copy of Oregon’s Ancient Forests: A Hiking Guide and a “Wild: The Oregon Way” t-shirt. Tickets are $5 and are an optional purchase below. Raffle tickets not only help us continue these Wednesday presentations but also support our work safeguarding Oregon’s wildlands\, wildlife\, and waters. \nREGISTER HERE
