SUMMARY:CULTIVATING HEALTHY COMMUNITIES (a Virtual Conference): Confronting Health Threats\, Climate Disasters\, and Biodiversity Collapse with a Toxic-Free Future
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Conference—May 25\, June 1\, June 8 and June 15\, 2021\n\nScientific understanding. Collective action. Systemic change. A toxic-free future. Organic transition. The serious and existential environmental and health challenges that we face bring an urgency to the focus of this Forum and the work that is going on in communities around the U.S. and the world. Central to the solution is the elimination of petroleum-based pesticides and fertilizers in exchange for regenerative organic land management and nontoxic materials that stop the harm from toxic chemical production\, use\, and disposal. We recognize that this is the only way to protect our children and families\, those in workplaces\, pets\, pollinators\, and the rich diversity of organisms essential to life.

SUMMARY:Virtual Event: A Guide to Restoring the Little Things That Run the World
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Doug Tallamy\, entomologist and author of Nature’s Best Hope\, for this lively discussion. A recent UN report predicts that as many as 1 million species will disappear from planet earth because of human activities. Many of these are insects and nearly all species at risk rely on insects. Insects have already declined 45% since 1974. How do we create beautiful landscapes brimming with life; landscapes that support the pollinators\, herbivores\, detritivores\, predators and parasitoids that run the ecosystems on which we depend? Tallamy will remind us of the many essential roles insects play\, and describe the simple changes we must make to keep insects on the ground\, in the air and yes\, on our plants. Also learn about the Native Plant Society of Oregon: High Desert Chapter\, the Bend Pollinator Pathway\, and how you can get involved. What can we plant and what actions can we take to support native pollinators in Central Oregon? \nThis virtual event is FREE but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Summer Bees & Plants
DESCRIPTION:Join Beyond Toxics for a webinar to learn about native bees and attend a virtual native plant tour!
