SUMMARY:Stream Sampling on Whychus Creek
DESCRIPTION:Sampling aquatic insects\, including mayflies and stoneflies\, provides important insights into the health of Whychus Creek. Volunteers meet at Creekside Park in Sisters for a sampling training\, then\, in teams of two to four\, use nets to collect aquatic insect samples from the stream at sites along Whychus. This event is a great opportunity to learn about habitat restoration on Whychus Creek for salmon and steelhead\, spend a day along less-visited reaches of the creek\, and contribute to knowledge about how restoration actions are changing stream conditions. \nUDWC will host our 14th annual Stream Sampling on Whychus Creek event on August 15th and 16th\, 2024! This will be our 14th consecutive year collecting aquatic insect (macroinvertebrate) samples to learn about how physical habitat conditions for native trout and salmon and other aquatic organisms are changing alongside stream flow and stream habitat restoration work by UDWC and our partners. \n2024 sample collection will focus on the following reaches of Whychus Creek: \n\nRecently restored reaches at Deschutes Land Trust’s Rimrock Ranch Preserve\, and at Creekside Park in Sisters;\nOlder restoration sites including Whychus Canyon Preserve Phase 1\, Camp Polk Meadow Preserve upstream reaches\, and Whychus Floodplain on National Forest lands upstream of Sisters);\nSamples from unrestored\, “control” reaches at Whychus Canyon Preserve; and\nSamples from Alder Springs and upstream of USFS Road 6360\, both affected by stream flow restoration but where no habitat restoration has occurred.\n\nWe will collect 18 samples over two days with restoration partners and community volunteers\, working in teams of 2-4. You can register for one day or both at the links below: \nThursday\, August 15th REGISTER \nFriday\, August 16th REGISTER

SUMMARY:Author Event: Rooted by Lyanda Haupt @ UUFCO
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, June 7th\, Lyanda Haupt will speak at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship at 7pm. To purchase tickets\, click HERE.\nDeepen your connection to the natural world with this inspiring meditation\, “a path to the place where science and spirit meet” (Robin Wall Kimmerer). Award-winning writer Lyanda Lynn Haupt’s highly personal new book is a brilliant invitation to live with the earth in both simple and profound ways—from walking barefoot in the woods and reimagining our relationship with animals and trees\, to examining the very language we use to describe and think about nature. She invokes rootedness as a way of being in concert with the wilderness—and wildness—that sustains humans and all of life. \nIn the tradition of Rachel Carson\, Elizabeth Kolbert\, and Mary Oliver\, Haupt writes with urgency and grace\, reminding us that at the crossroads of science\, nature\, and spirit we find true hope. Each chapter provides tools for bringing our unique gifts to the fore and transforming our sense of belonging within the magic and wonder of the natural world. Lyanda Lynn Haupt is a naturalist\, ecophilosopher\, and author of Mozart’s Starling\, The Urban Bestiary\, Crow Planet\, Pilgrim on the Great Bird Continent\, and Rare Encounters with Ordinary Birds. Ms. Haupt is a winner of the Washington State Book Award and the Sigurd F. Olson Nature Writing Award. \nBooks will be available for purchase at the event.

DESCRIPTION:A troubling study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in March found that the presence of microplastics particles in heart tissue caused a measurable increase in people’s risk of heart attack\, stroke and premature death. With each new study published\, plastics’ negative impacts on human health are becoming clearer and more widespread. \nWhat does this mean for you and your loved ones? Please join us and Dr. Phil Landrigan via Zoom this Thursday\, May 2 from 7-8PM ET to discuss plastics’ impacts on our health and how we can decrease our exposure. Register now. >> \nPlastics take a heavy toll on both human and environmental health. We know that there are micro-and nanoplastics in our air\, water\, and soil\, as well as at every level of the food chain. \nWe also know that these tiny bits of plastic are present inside all of us. Researchers have found micro- and nano-plastics in the human intestine\, placenta\, liver\, spleen\, lungs\, and lymph node tissues\, as well as in blood and breast milk. \nMany of the toxic chemicals added to plastics including PFAS\, phthalates\, and bisphenols are also present in the bodies of nearly all Americans. \nWe are excited to welcome Dr. Philip J. Landrigan\, a world-renowned pediatrician\, public health physician\, and epidemiologist back to the Beyond Plastics virtual stage for this free educational webinar on May 2. Dr. Landrigan is at the forefront of exploring what our ever-increasing exposure to plastics means for our health and longevity as well as how we can reduce our exposure. \nPlease click here to register now and plan to join us at 7 PM ET this Thursday\, May 2 to explore these critical and emergent questions.

SUMMARY:The Remarkable Native Bees of Central Oregon
DESCRIPTION:Did you know Oregon has more than 700 species of native bees?!? We say “more than” because\, in fact\, no one actually knows how many native bees call the state home. Central Oregon is particularly well endowed with these amazing bees. Join the Deschutes Land Trust and Andony Melathopoulous to learn about the unique and sometimes weird bees of Central Oregon. Andony will also discuss the ongoing efforts to find all of our native bees and provide gardening tips on how to make these special pollinators feel at home in your backyard. This presentation is free\, but you must get your ticket online.
