DESCRIPTION:The apocalyptic story of the current climate crisis is nothing new. What is new is the research emerging on why we have failed to act. Social psychologists have recently identified some of the reasons behind the inertia caused by fear\, guilt\, anger\, despair and helplessness. These are the emotions experienced by the very individuals ⎯you and I⎯ in whose hands it lies to make the necessary changes that will enrich our lives\, make us more resilient\, restore self-­‐identity\, strengthen our communities\, and ensure a livable planet both for ourselves and our more-­‐than-­‐human relatives. Join us on Monday nights to share and contribute towards this critical shift in consciousness. \nBased on Living Systems Theory\, “The Work That Reconnects\,” Deep Ecology and ancient spiritual traditions\, the class is guided by long-­‐time activist/filmmaker/yoga instructor\, Vanessa Schulz.

SUMMARY:February Nature Night: Lichens --The extreme fungi
DESCRIPTION:**Registration for this Nature Night will open January 24th!** \nHave you ever wondered what the neon tufts growing on our local junipers are? Then\, join us for an illuminating evening about lichens! That neon green is actually a lichen: a fungus growing together with an alga to make a specialized growth form. \nLichenologist Daphne Stone will take us on a tour of lichens: what they are\, how they survive in diverse and often extreme habitats\, and how they are different from other fungi. Then we will take a tour of interesting lichens around the Pacific Northwest\, including lush lichens in coastal Oregon\, lichens that fix nitrogen from the air in the Cascades\, brilliant crustose lichens on rocks in dry areas\, and delicate soil crust lichens that protect the deserts of eastern Oregon.

SUMMARY:Bend Central Westside Plan Open Houses
DESCRIPTION:See what the future might look like for Bend’s central westside neighborhoods! \nBend’s central Westside is rapidly changing. After more than a year of community input\, the City of Bend has developed a preferred land use concept.  Now\, the City needs your input about how the transportation system might change to support this future land use vision. \nThe city is holding two open houses to present the preferred scenario and gather input on the transportation improvements: \nNorthern Area Open House \n5-7 p.m. Wednesday\, March 2\, 2016\nKingston School\, 1101 NW 12th Street \nSouthern Area Open House \n5-7 p.m. Thursday\, March 3\, 2016\nRiverbend Community Room\, 799 SW Columbia \nThis open house is your chance to explore the city’s proposed preferred land use concept and provide input about how transportation decisions could shape these neighborhoods. The Northern Area Open House will focus on Newport Avenue\, Galveston Avenue\, and 14th Street corridors.  The Southern Area Open House will focus on the university area and industrial area.  All materials will be available at both open houses. \nCan’t attend a meeting? You can also participate online from March 1-15\, 2016.

SUMMARY:Forest Service Presents Climate Change Information
DESCRIPTION:BEND– In mid-March a nationally known forest researcher with the Forest Service’s Pacific Northwest Research Station and a researcher with the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences at the University of Washington jointly will present their recent assessments of the impact of climate change on national forests in South-Central Oregon in Bend\, Ore. \nDr. Dave Peterson. Senior Research Biologist with the Forest Service’s Pacific Northwest Research Station\, and Dr. Jessica Halofsky\, Research Ecologist with the University of Washington’s School of Environmental and Forest Sciences\, will discuss their studies on the impacts of climate change in South-Central Oregon on Monday\, March 14\, 2016 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in Willie Hall at Central Oregon Community College’s Coats Campus Center\, 2600 NW College Way. The presentation is free and open to the public. \nDr. Peterson is a well-known researcher on climate change and shares the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his contributions to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Dr. Halofsky coordinated the climate change vulnerability studies on the national forests in Oregon.  Following their presentation the public will be able to discuss the information with the researchers. \nFor the past year\, scientists and local resource managers worked together to assess how climate change may affect water resources\, fisheries\, vegetation\, wildlife and recreation on public lands of the Deschutes\, Ochoco and Fremont-Winema National Forests\, the Crooked River National Grassland and Crater Lake National Park.  In addition to this research\, these same public agencies formed the South-Central Oregon Adaptation Partnership (SCOAP) to seek solutions for coping with the effects of a warmer climate on public lands. \nPreliminary findings of the assessment also are being shared during a Climate Change workshop with researchers and land managers in Redmond\, Ore. on March 15-16\, 2016.  Workshop participants will develop adaptation strategies\, which may be used to minimize negative impacts from climate change. \nFollowing the workshop\, the final assessment will be peer reviewed and published by the U.S. Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station.  The results will be available to federal agencies\, other landowners\, and the general public.  For more information about the SCOAP assessment\, see http://adaptationpartners.org/scoap.
