SUMMARY:Western Monarch and Pollinator Spring Migration Celebration
DESCRIPTION:The Monarch butterfly is vulnerable. There were an estimated one billion North American Monarchs twenty years ago. Today there are about 33 million. But their decline is only part of this compelling story. The Western Monarch—our Monarch butterfly—has seen a much greater population decline; yet dedicated study on their dwindling numbers only began in 2012. \nWhy is this significant? Because their story is an indicator of total pollinator decline which means our entire food chain is in peril. Fortunately\, citizen scientists are making a meaningful difference in helping experts understand the underlying problems. The key to developing a citizen scientist network is education. Students can and are becoming engaged citizen scientists. The study of pollinators like the Monarch butterfly can get kids excited about learning. \nWe’ve seen this at Sisters Middle School and we want to share our success with you. That’s why we urge you to attend our free Western Monarch and Pollinator Spring Migration Celebration on May 5\, 2018. See below. \n9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Southern Oregon Monarch Advocates is hosting a pre-conference round-table discussion where everyone may share their stories of success in helping Monarchs and pollinators in their area. \n1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Main Conference includes the following program: \n\nKeynote speaker: Entomologist Dr. David James of Washington State University\, founder of the Western Monarch tagging and tracking program will bring us all up to date.\nFeatured speaker: Robert Coffan\, of Southern Oregon Monarch Advocates is part of a team that is currently performing the largest single monarch habitat restoration project in the western United States! As SOMA co-founder\, Robert will share just why and how they are doing it.\nSpecial guest and MC: Sisters Middle School Special Education teacher Susie Werts\, used Monarch butter-flies to enhance student reading and writing skills while rearing monarch caterpillars and releasing tagged Mon-arch butterflies. Teacher Werts some of what she has learned.\nFeatured video: Journey’s Flight\, The Video Storybook\, produced by Angela Street. Angela captured the essence of the book Journey’s Flight\, written by Sisters Middle School students into a delightful short video with music and student art.

SUMMARY:Spring Wildflowers and Magnificent Mountain Views on Gray Butte
DESCRIPTION:The Gray Butte Trail winds through the juniper forest and sagebrush slopes of Gray Butte. Hikers will be rewarded with sights of spring wildflowers such as phlox\, lupine and balsamroot. And\, if the wildflowers are not enough\, the views of the Crooked River National Grasslands below and the snow-capped Cascades will be spectacular. Perhaps you will even get a glimpse of Mt. Hood! Charmane Powers\, a botanist on the Deschutes National Forest since 1990\, will lead this FREE hike. \nThe Gray Butte trailhead is about 36 miles north of Bend (approximately a 1-hour drive). Hikers will meet at ONDA’s Bend office\, 50 SW Bond St.\, Suite 4\, to carpool to the trailhead together. High clearance vehicles (Subaru or better) will be required to reach this trailhead. \nONDA Hiker information \n\nHikes have a very limited capacity. As such\, we ask that you only register for hikes that you are certain you will attend.\nExpect a phone call from us the week before the hike confirming your attendance. We will have a waitlist for each hike and will release your spot to someone on the waitlist if we are unable to confirm your attendance.\nEach hiker is required to sign a liability release form at the beginning of the hike.\nWe love our furry friends\, but your pet is not invited on this hike.\nHikers will meet at the Oregon Natural Desert Association office – 50 SW Bond St. Suite 4\, Bend\, OR – and carpool to the trailhead. Do you have a high clearance vehicle you are willing to drive for the hike? Let us know how many people you can take\, including yourself. If you are able and willing to drive\, please come with at least half a tank of gas. If you can’t or do not wish to drive\, please bring cash and plan to contribute between 5 and 10 cents per mile to the driver of your carpool. Directions will be provided for drivers.

SUMMARY:Juniper Group Program Night
DESCRIPTION:Social 6:30\, Program 7:00\nAn informative program about environmental issues\, every third Wednesday of the month. \nPeople\, Forests and Change\, Lessons from the Pacific Northwest\nConiferous forests of the North Pacific coast of North America have an air of permanence where they remain intact\, yet recent and future changes threaten their ecological integrity and human sustainability.  These threats are echoed in forests and other ecosystems worldwide. \nForests collectively house most of Earth’s terrestrial biodiversity and supply vast quantities of ecosystem services.  We owe much of our economic prosperity to the vast forested landscapes that cover the earth.  Today’s forest management decisions will shape tomorrow’s ecosystems\, and new approaches are needed to withstand emerging challenges from climate and related changes.  The weighty question before us is how to foster a relationship between people and forests—the human-forest ecosystem—that honors the forest ecosystem while sustaining human communities. \nThe program presenter\, Dede Olson\, Ph.D.\, is a Research Ecologist on the Aquatic Ecology and Management Team of the Land & Watershed Management Research program\, PNW Research Station\, US Forest Service\, and editor of the book People\, Forests\, and Change: Lessons from the Pacific Northwest. \n

SUMMARY:Become a Hike Leader Training
DESCRIPTION:Prime hiking season is here and we need more hike leaders!  Learn how to plan a hike and get tips for leading and managing a hike.  After taking OLT101 new Outings Leaders will schedule a hike with an experienced leader as a dry run to practice what they’ve learned.  This is a fun way to share outdoor experiences and to meet other people with the same enthusiasm for Nature!  Whatever your pace\, easy\, moderate and difficult hikes appeal to a cross-section of hikers.  As a leader\, you decide the locale\, difficulty\, number of hikers and timing.  Register at juniper.group@oregon.sierraclub.org or at the Meetup site\, link here.
