SUMMARY:The West is Burning Film Screening - La Pine
DESCRIPTION:Discover Your Forest\, in partnership with the Deschutes National Forest and the Upper Deschutes River Communities\, is hosting a public screening of The West is Burning followed by a panel discussion with specialists in land management\, forest/fire ecology\, fire management\, and adaptive communities. \nThe free community event will be held at the La Pine Activity Center\, 16450 Victory Way\, La Pine on Thursday\, October 5th. The event begins at 6:30 p.m. with dinner and childcare beginning at 6:00 p.m. \nThe West is Burning examines the history of forest management and social conflict that has contributed to current forest conditions\, causing longer fire seasons and unprecedented impacts. The film emphasizes the need to act now to generate positive change in our forests\, watersheds\, and communities. Six real-life perspectives drive the film’s narrative to help raise awareness about the conditions of forests in the western U.S. Their stories demonstrate the need to embrace a new era of forest stewardship\, and the unique partnerships that are being built across community-based organizations\, government entities\, and private and non-governmental organizations. These thought leaders highlight the need for a unified response to climate change\, land use\, and forest restoration\, and emphasize the importance of community-based solutions to these challenges. \nRepresentatives from local forestry and fire organizations will host tables and share information on wildfire preparedness before and after the event. \nThis is a free event with dinner and childcare provided. For more information contact Discover Your Forest’s Wildland Fire Education Coordinator\, Emily Curtis\, at emily.curtis@discovernw.org. \n\nAny donations received through this form will go towards Discover Your Forest’s wildland fire and forest restoration public outreach and education programs. \nGet tickets here!

SUMMARY:Science Pub: Fungi in the Forest
DESCRIPTION:Explore the variety of fungi in Central Oregon and the surprisingly important role they play in forest health. You’ll discover the vast fungal communication networks in forests at boot-level and beneath\, how fungi are adapted to our fire-dependent environment\, and how they can help forests recover from fire. \nYou’ll also learn about the largest fungus in the world\, located nearby in the Malheur National Forest. \nAbout the Presenter \nAriel Cowan is an assistant professor of practice and regional fire specialist with the OSU Extension Service in Deschutes County. Cowan’s experience in mycology began at the State University of New York’s College of Environmental Science & Forestry. Since then\, as a biologist\, researcher\, stewardship forester and wildland firefighter her work has focused on fungal ecology and forest health. She is a member of the Central Oregon Mushroom Club. \nRegister here!

SUMMARY:Ethnobotany of the Klamath Basin
DESCRIPTION:Native cultures have called the Klamath Basin home for millennium and have developed a long and intimate relationship with the native plants of the Basin for food\, medicine\, tools\, and clothing.  In this talk\,  Erin Rentz\, Botanist with Six Rivers National Forest\, will discuss a selection of culturally significant plants and the importance of management of these resources. Erin studied Botany and Ecology at San Francisco State University and has worked as a botanist for the Forest Service for the past 15 years in southern Oregon and northern California. \nSeptember 27\, 2023\n6:30 pm\nWorthy Brewing\n495 NE Bellevue Dr.\, Bend OR 97701 \nRegister HERE

SUMMARY:Science Pub: Science\, Spirituality and a Sustainable Future
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a fascinating Science Pub looking at the connections between science and religion. OSU-Cascades biologist Matt Orr will explain how the Anthropocene\, Earth’s present geological epoch\, is defined by a decline in environmental ecosystems\, as well as by human responses to the decline in the forms of anxiety\, guilt\, grief and illness. \nOrr will share ways in which spiritual practices have evolved in response to other significant crises over time\, and examine how contemporary spirituality practices are evolving in response to the environmental crisis. He’ll look at how this evolution may continue and improve both the environmental and human condition. \n5 p.m. DOORS OPEN/ORDER FOOD AND BEVERAGES – Enjoy dinner with fellow attendees. \n6:30 p.m. PRESENTATION – Presentation begins in Hop Mahal. \n\n\n\n\nScience Pubs are where we take science out of the laboratory and bring it to the community. Join discussions with researchers from throughout OSU and OSU-Cascades about the work they do to help solve the world’s toughest challenges. \nScience Pubs are made possible with support from Worthy Brewing. \n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER \nMatt Orr is an associate professor at Oregon State University – Cascades. His research interests focus on restoration ecology in forest\, field and stream habitats in Central Oregon. His work has included studying the behavior of scavengers; the application of restoration ecology to medicine; and the connections between science and religion. He received a Ph.D. in population biology from University of California\, Davis. \nRegister here!
