SUMMARY:Livable Future Forum
DESCRIPTION:How do we meet our community’s needs without compromising the environment and all that makes Central Oregon so incredible?\nThrough our Livable Future Forum\, we’ll explore that question and more as LandWatch program directors chat with knowledgeable local leaders about land use and livability topics. From the fascinating life and times of mule deer to the reality of farming in the high desert to the creative work of developing Complete Communities\, you’ll gain new insight into the many ways land use decision making is foundational to life in our region — and learn how you can participate in shaping a more sustainable and equitable future for Central Oregon.\nEvents will be on Oct. 3\, Oct 23\, and Nov. 13. All events will start at 7 pm and take place at Open Space Event Studios in the Bend Central District.  \nEach event in this three-part series will feature a LandWatch program director in conversation with fellow local experts covering a range of topics on land use and regional livability. \nREGISTER FOR ALL THREE EVENTS \nOn October 3\, we’ll start out by looking closely at the lives of mule deer\, with the High Desert Museum’s Curator of Wildlife Jon Nelson. You see deer often\, but how much do you know about this shy\, fascinating species? Find out. \nGET TICKETS FOR OCT 3 ONLY \nOn October 23\, we’ll talk about farming in the high desert with local farmers and ambitious entrepreneurs Megan Kellner-Rode and Cate Havstad. \nGET TICKETS FOR OCT 23 ONLY \nAnd\, on November 13\, following hot on the heels of the national election\, we will host a lively session all about how we can act locally to create Complete Communities to ensure a more equitable\, climate-resilient future. \nGET TICKETS FOR NOV 13 ONLY
