SUMMARY:What's Brewing? The Ticket to Transit
DESCRIPTION:As Bend faces new opportunities and challenges in 2015 and beyond\, transit will play a more important role in connecting people to jobs; providing access to education and health care; reducing congestion and parking problems; and providing access to shopping and recreation. Some of us ride transit\, but all of us need it. \nAttend What’s Brewing on July 7 to find out how transit will impact our quality of life today and shape the future of Bend.  Please join us for a discussion with Cascades East Transit (CET) and our community partners about what’s next for transit in Bend\, including a proposed major expansion to the Bend CET system later in 2015. CET will be adding new routes\, increasing the frequency of buses and extending hours of operation\, while better serving partners such as OSU Cascades\, COCC\, St Charles\, and the business community as a whole. \nPanelists:\nAndrew Spreadborough\, Cascades East Transit/COIC\nAmy Tykeson\, Tykeson and Associates\nVictor Chudowsky\, Bend City Councilor  \nBrought to you by the Community Affairs Council of the Bend Chamber of Commerce.

SUMMARY:Volunteers Needed: Native Plant Harvest
DESCRIPTION:OSU-Cascades is planning for a new campus\,  and part of that effort will include development of the 10-acre parcel at the corner of Century Drive and Chandler\, across from Cascade Lakes Brewpub.  We are planning an extensive restoration of the site following construction\, with the goal of restoring disturbed areas to conditions which reflect multiple seral stages common to the Ponderosa pine-bitterbrush-fescue plant association of the Central Oregon Pumice Zone.  Doing so will involve harvesting as much plant material from the site as possible\, to be stored at Wintercreek Restoration until planting next year. \nThis effort is part of a larger initiative to utilize site landscaping as a permanent learning opportunity for students and community members alike.  Students from both the Bend and Corvallis campuses will be involved in the design and implementation of the landscaping plan for the property\, and NR faculty will be developing a 4-6 week curriculum focusing on urban landscape restoration\, development impact mitigation\, and native plant enhancement strategies for delivery next spring.  We are looking for volunteers to join us for a native plant harvest Monday\, June 22nd. Wintercreek restoration will be on site to provide instruction and some information about native plant harvest as well as equipment for removing plants. \nWhere: Campus site\, corner of Chandler and Century Drive.\n What to bring: Water\, gloves\, sunny disposition\, love of native plants\nLunch will be provided. \nIf you are available to assist with this effort\, please contact: \nMatt Shinderman\, PhD\n541-322-3159\nmatt.shinderman@osucascades.edu
