SUMMARY:Wildlife Migrations in the West
DESCRIPTION:In the finale of ONDA’s 2022 High Desert Speaker Series\, professor Arthur Middleton will cover the basic ecology of ungulate migrations in the western United States. He’ll then profile threats to these migrations\, including climate and land-use change\, as well as barriers to migration like roads and fences. With a nod to the future\, Arthur will also discuss some emerging models and opportunities for collaborative conservation of important migrations — all more relevant than ever to Oregon’s high desert and the species that move through the sagebrush sea. \n*Registration will open on March 19 and close two hours before the event begins.

SUMMARY:The Energy Equity Project
DESCRIPTION:The Energy Equity Project is working to create a framework for measuring equity across energy efficiency and clean energy programs among utilities\, state regulatory agencies\, and other practitioners\, while engaging and centering Black\, Brown\, and Indigenous communities and frontline communities. An equity measurement framework\, set to launch in beta form in 2022\, will serve environmental and climate justice advocates\, practitioners\, regulatory agencies\, and utilities to drive more equitable investments and outcomes in energy efficiency\, distributed generation and storage (i.e. solar + batteries)\, demand response\, electrification\, and electric vehicle infrastructure. The presentation will offer an overview of EEP’s work\, including the energy equity issues it addresses in urban contexts\, and an update on the framework being developed and the stakeholder engagement process.

SUMMARY:Round Butte Clean Up
DESCRIPTION:Round Butte is a dormant\, shield volcano located between Madras and Culver. This beautiful area is popular with locals and visitors alike. From the top\, you are treated to a 360-degree view of the snow capped Cascade Range from Mt. Bachelor to Mt. Hood\, Madras to the north and Culver and open desert dotted with buttes to the south and east. It is a great place to enjoy fresh air and get plenty of sunshine. Depending on our spring weather\, balsamroot and lupine may just be beginning to bloom. The area is also used as an off-highway vehicle course and shooting range; unfortunately\, some who use it leave garbage\, pallets\, tires\, appliances\, old targets\, shell casings and more littering the once pristine area. Last year\, volunteers picked up more than 5 tons of micro litter\, household and building materials waste\, and invasive weeds. The Butte needs your help again this Earth Day. Please join SOLVE and the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department to clean up Round Butte. Volunteers are needed to pick up litter. \nVolunteer Limit: 10
