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.

Confluence Professional Development’s purpose is to educate teachers in the pedagogy of Indigenous curriculum and lessons. It is to prepare adults\, teachers\, and educators with a more perceptive understanding of Native American lifeways\, history\, cultural traditions\, and ecology that define our Native identity. \nOver the two-day virtual workshop\, the cohort will learn directly from Indigenous workshop facilitators/speakers and have the opportunity to think through Indigenous education concepts together using materials from Confluence Media Library\, our publications\, Columbia River Sites\, and our work from Camp Confluence and Confluence in the Classroom. We will also show the parallels of our work at Confluence with Oregon’s Tribal History/Shared History and Washington’s Since Time Immemorial curriculums. \nThis cohort will meet on Zoom on Jan. 21 and Jan. 28 at 4–6pm. Our theme this month is: \nVoices of the River Volume 1: Stories to Be Told – Ancestors Always Present \nRegister HERE
