SUMMARY:Free LED Program Volunteer Training
DESCRIPTION:You may have heard that we have some very exciting news for 2017 –we have our expanded our free LED light bulb installation program to serve Redmond and Tumalo! \nWe have already reached 2\,400 homes in Bend and our goal is to reach another 600 homes in the next 6 months. To put that in perspective\, that would help save another ~$60\,000 annually in energy costs. To reach 600 homes\, we need 600 people to sign up for LEDs. That’s A LOT of people. Right now\, our biggest obstacle is getting the word out and getting people to sign up. If our costs get too high to market this program\, we may not be able to sustain it. \nThis is where YOU can play a vital role in helping people save energy—letting them know that this amazing opportunity exists.  \nIf you are interesting helping out\, we will be hosting a volunteer training to help you get more familiar with the LED program. If you plan on coming\, or are interested in volunteering and can’t make the training\, please email Neil(at)envirocenter.org or calling 541-385-6908 x26.  \nHanging Posters\nWe need volunteers to help hang posters in Redmond\, Tumalo\, and Bend. Posters can be picked up at The Environmental Center or dropped off to you in Redmond. \nTabling at Local Businesses\nA great way to reach people is meeting them where they already go. We have had great success set up informational tables with sign up sheets at grocery stores and coffee shops. You can set the times that you are interested in tabling! We will provide all the materials you need.  If you have a business that you think might be interested\, you can set up a table there\, or choose from businesses that we have already set up relationships with. \nKnocking on Doors\nWe have also had great success with canvassing neighborhoods and talking directly to people at their homes. Some people won’t want to talk to you and some will be over the moon that you just told them that can save $100 a year on utility bills and that you will help them do it for free.

SUMMARY:Bend Solidarity March
DESCRIPTION:In solidarity with the Women’s March on Washington\, and similar actions occurring throughout the nation\, the Juniper Group of the Sierra Club will join a coalition of local groups and individuals to encourage your participation in the BEND SOLIDARITY MARCH on January 21. \n“This family-friendly event will highlight the power of  intersectional communities in resistance against hate\, fear and oppression in all its forms. The recent election indisputably shows us that everything we value is under assault. \nWe cannot stay silent\, and we will not stay seated. We will stand up with one voice about all progressive issues. We are feminists\, we are people of color\, we are planet protectors\, we are LGBTQI\, we are allies\, we are seniors\, we are teachers and healers\, mothers and fathers and brothers and sisters. We are everyone and we  are strong.” \nDETAILS: Assemble at Drake Park at 11 AM. \nAfter a short rally\, we will orderly march on the sidewalks via a designated route through downtown Bend\, ending at Riverfront Park (Crow’s Feet Commons) off Brooks Alley behind the Tower Theater. \nAt the Commons we will listen to a few short speakers\, be entertained by music\, and will also have an “open mic” format through which groups or individuals may briefly express VALUES  and actions we may consider to defend those values. \nAdditional information about the Bend Solidarity March can also be found at the WOMEN’S MARCH BEND Facebook Page.

SUMMARY:Forest 'restoration' and biomass: trouble for Central Oregon?
DESCRIPTION:Take a trip up the Cascades Highway and you’ll see what the Forest Service is doing in the name of ‘restoration’. This is just the beginning of an extensive\, but questionable\, attempt to preclude large wildfires in the Deschutes National Forest. \nThe slash piles from these fuel reduction efforts are slated to feed local biomass projects. Biomass is being hyped as “green” renewable energy\, yet is anything but that considering its carbon and air pollution impacts. \nIn this talk\, we will present research debunking forest ‘restoration’ and biomass myths. \nQ&A to follow. Seating limited\, sign up today. \nSpeakers: \nGeorge Wuerthner is an ecologist who has published 38 books including ‘Wildfire: A Century of Failed Forest Policy.’ Hans van Naerssen is a local environmentalist and former international business/government consultant. \nModerator: Laurie Lakin

SUMMARY:Assessing the Function and Ecology of a Beloved River System
DESCRIPTION:Part II: Deschutes River Flows \nAssessing the Function and Ecology of a Beloved River System\nPlease arrive at 6:00 pm to get seated. \nSpeakers: Jason Gritzner\, USFS\, and Jennifer O’Reilly\, USFW. \nThe current condition of the Upper Deschutes River is a hot topic and processes are underway to develop solutions to improve the ecological function of the river. \nAlthough the degraded condition of the river has been recognized for years\, the recent ESA listing of the Oregon spotted frog has highlighted a broader aspect of the Deschutes River that includes the adjacent wetlands. \nOur program presenters\, Jason Gritzner and Jennifer O’Reilly\, are local scientists working to assess the effects of water management on the Upper Deschutes River and wetland ecosystems. \nThrough partnerships in the basin\, their focus is to elucidate how flows interface with and support the function of the Deschutes River and its adjacent riverine wetlands. \nRegistration Required. Suggested donation of $10/person; includes hors d’oeuvres and a drink. \n\nJoin the Coalition for the Deschutes for two programs related to the Upper Deschutes River and the Oregon Spotted Frog: \nThe first\, on Monday\, January 9 will address the legal aspects of the frog.\n\nThe second\, on Tuesday January 24\, will review the latest science about the frog and the river channel.

To date\, this program has raised over $10\,000 to support this free field trip programs at Mt Bachelor. Project SNOW (Studying Nature Outdoors in Winter) is dedicated to providing a rich outdoor education experience for students that instills in them a sense of awe and stewardship for the environment. Project SNOW provides an unforgettable winter adventure that combines hands-on science education with snowshoe-powered outdoor exploration for over 2\,000 kids in Central Oregon. Funds raised have helped us purchase adaptive equipment and warm weather clothing to make sure that kids can participate in the program no matter what. \nAdventure\, environment and climate\, youth outdoors\, ski culture- you’ll find it all in this award winning lineup. \nThe Backcountry Film Festival is produced by Winter Wildlands Alliance as a celebration of the human-powered experience and a gathering place for the backcountry snowsports community. Winter Wildlands Alliance is a national nonprofit organization that partners with groups like Discover Your Forest at the local level to inspire and educate the backcountry community to protect and care for their winter landscapes. Funds raised at each screening stay in the local community to support human-powered recreation and conservation efforts\, winter education and avalanche/safety programs and to raise awareness of winter management issues.

SUMMARY:January Nature Night
DESCRIPTION:My life on trails—what a cougar taught me about conservation\nTrails play a major role in the life of many Central Oregonians—whether in city parks or mountain wilderness. But have you ever thought about how those trails came to be? Join 27-year Deschutes National Forest trails specialist John Schubert for an evening on trails. Learn about the rich history of trails and how contemporary design\, construction\, and maintenance strive to minimize our impacts on nature. Finally\, John\, renowned trail designer and bridge builder across the country\, will share tips on how people who love trails can reduce their own impacts while using them. This presentation is free\, but you must get your ticket online. \nNature Nights will be held January-March at the Tower Theatre. Each presentation is designed to bring the nature of Central Oregon to the community. For many of us\, it bridges the winter gap in birding and hiking\, for others it offers a front row seat to the wonders of the world that would otherwise never be seen. Regardless\, we hope you’ll join us! All Nature Nights are free and start at 7pm at the Tower Theatre in Bend. We recommend getting your tickets early as Nature Nights tend to sell out fast!

SUMMARY:The Secret Lives of Sage Grouse
DESCRIPTION:High Desert Speaker Series Bend: Stuart Garrett- The Secret Lives of Sage Grouse\nThe Greater sage-grouse is an imperiled bird that lives on public lands right in our backyard. The elaborate courtship ritual and decorated plumage of this bird have captivated the minds and hearts of desert visitors throughout the western United States. But this bird has faced a number of threats in recent years that led scientists to consider its listing under the Endangered Species Act. In recent years\, federal agencies have developed new protection guidelines for this bird in lieu of listing. \nLocal physician and conservation advocate Stuart Garrett will discuss recent attempts to protect the sage-grouse and highlight how sagebrush habitat is important to the bird’s life cycle. Don’t miss this chance to get more information on how we can protect habitat for this bird that lives on public lands in our own high desert backyard! \nJoin us for an evening highlighting the best of your high desert. \nThe event is free and open to the public. Space is limited. Doors will open at 6:30p.m. with the speaker beginning at 7p.m. For more information about other speakers in this series\, visit ONDA.org/HighDesertSeries
