SUMMARY:SOLVE it for Earth Day
DESCRIPTION:As the number of people visiting and moving to our beautiful state continues to grow\, it has become more important than ever to keep it clean and healthy! Let’s come together to make this Earth Day the largest ever\, picking up litter\, removing invasive plants\, and planting native trees and shrubs across Oregon. Together we can make sure Oregon can remain the amazing place we all love. \nThe idea of people coming together on Earth Day to take care of and celebrate our planet began more than 45 years ago and was a perfect fit for SOLVE and our volunteers. In 1990\, SOLVE IT for Earth Day took root in the Greater Portland-Metro area\, fusing our hands-on approach with this worldwide day of service. Since then\, SOLVE IT for Earth Day has grown into Oregon’s largest Earth Day service event. \nOver the past 27 years more than 112\,000 volunteers have removed 15 million pounds of litter and invasive plants from illegal dumpsites\, neighborhoods\, and natural areas as part of this global event. \n*Projects available around the state! View the full list of Central Oregon opportunities here\, and register today!*

SUMMARY:Fire and Water: Hydrogeology of Central Oregon
DESCRIPTION:Join volcanologist Dr. Daniele McKay for a fascinating presentation about the unique hydrogeology of the Deschutes River basin. \nThe volcanic landscape of Central Oregon has shaped the hydrology of this area in surprising ways. The Deschutes River was known as the “Peculiar River” because of its historically stable year-round flows. Rain and snowmelt rapidly infiltrate through the young volcanic rocks and resurface later as springs that feed our rivers. Join us as we dig deeper into this remarkable system. \nDaniele has a PhD in geology from the University of Oregon. She studies volcanic activity and has focused much of her research on central Oregon volcanoes. She is a very active member of the community and volunteers for a variety of natural resource related organizations.
