SUMMARY:2021 Spring Ochoco Creek Instream Cleanup
DESCRIPTION:The Rotary Club of Crook County is once again teaming up with Crook County Parks and Recreation\, Deschutes Land Trust\, SOLVE\, Crook County\, Republic Services and Crooked River Brewing to do an in stream cleanup of Ochoco Creek before high water hits. CCPRD will help with logistics and collect the trash bags during the cleanup. Republic Services is donating a 10 yard dumpster and Crook County is paying for the dumping fees at the landfill. \nVolunteers are needed to do a thorough instream and bankside cleanup on March 27th. The reach of Ochoco Creek to cleanup is from Combs Flatt Rd to Gardner Street\, within the City of Prineville. If enough volunteers are recruited cleanup will be expanded to outside of the City to the Ochoco Lumber Company property and also to the north east – hopefully to the confluence with the Crooked River. \nDue to the complexities of working in the creek\, no one under 12 will be allowed to be in the Creek itself and youths between 12-18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Any age can help cleanup the banks and along Ochoco Creek pathway\, but children under 12 should have a parent or designated guardian with them.

SUMMARY:“Salmon’s Agreement” Film Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Salmon have always kept their word. Year after year since time immemorial\, these anadromous fish have returned to their home tributaries to spawn and give their lives for future generations. \nFilmmaker Woodrow Hunt (Klamath/Modoc\, Cherokee) of Tule Films brings us Indigenous stories and perspectives from the Columbia River that illuminate our relationship with a fish that remains a cultural lifeblood to Native people. This documentary short is a collaboration of Tule Films\, Confluence\, NW Documentary Freshwaters Illustrated\, and the Natural Resources Defense Council. \nThe screening of “Salmon’s Agreement” will be followed by a discussion with the filmmaker and Tamastslikt Cultural Institute Executive Director Bobbie Conner of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation.

SUMMARY:Past-to-Future: Vanishing Glaciers in the Deschutes Basin
DESCRIPTION:From fish to farms\, from flora to fire hazard\, glaciers are crucial to our well-being. And yet… \nOregon’s glaciers are the natural water reservoirs of the high Cascade water towers. Glacier meltwater sustains rivers during the late summer and fall for flora\, fauna and irrigation. The glacier melt chills streams for salmon and trout\, with the attendant effect of cooling surrounding forests that reduces fire risk and intensity. In short\, glaciers are an integral part of Central Oregon ecosystems and economies. \nAnd yet\, we do not know how many glaciers remain today in the basin\, let alone how many existed a century ago. In this talk\, Dr. Anders Carlson will present on the Oregon Glacier Institute’s findings from the first census of glaciers in Oregon since the 1950s. You will hear how these glacier changes are related to regional climate change\, concluding the discussion on what the future holds for the remaining glaciers in the Deschutes Basin. \nWhere: Zoom\, coz Covid.

SUMMARY:Red Planet Mars
DESCRIPTION:Mars and Earth have much in common. They’re both small rocky planets\, and although Mars is smaller\, both planets have a similar length of day.  Both planets have ice at the poles\, and Mars may even have water flowing like Earth.  Mars also may have quakes and similar geologic features. Scientists have been gathering evidence that Mars\, too\, may hold ancient life\, in the form of microbes.  This lecture will be given by Jim Todd\, Director of Space Science Education at the Oregon Museum of Science & Industry (OMSI).
