SUMMARY:Oregon's Water Strategy: Madras Regional Community Conversation
DESCRIPTION:In Oregon we have a plan for our water.  It is called the Integrated Water Resources Strategy (the Strategy).  The Strategy helps us understand what water we have available in Oregon and what we need for people\, plants\, animals\, and the land. It also has actions we can take to meet those needs. \nNow it’s time for that plan to be updated. The Oregon Water Resources Department (OWRD) and 13 other state agencies are working with Oregon’s Kitchen Table (OKT)\, a program at Portland State University. \nWe want to hear what you want to see in the update to Oregon’s water Strategy. Your input will help the state plan for the future to meet our water needs. We are hosting community conversations in different parts of the state. \nIf you are interested in attending one of these\, please register here. Walk-ins are welcome.  We will have food and supervised play for children. \nContact us at (503)725-5248 or info@oregonskitchentable.org if you have questions.

SUMMARY:Open Spaces and Open Houses? The Tradeoffs in Oregon’s Land Use System
DESCRIPTION:Oregon’s land use system is 50 years old. It is both celebrated for its prevention of urban sprawl and derided for driving up housing costs. Join City Club as they welcome nationally recognized land use expert Bill Fulton\, as he explores what makes Oregon’s land use system unique\, and its strengths and weaknesses compared to other systems in the U.S.  Is it accomplishing its goals? Have there been unintended consequences?   You will then move into a discussion with local representatives from the development and conservation community and Bill\, focusing on what they find successful in this system\, what is frustrating\, and how it could be improved.

SUMMARY:Plastic-Free Seas: Diving Into How Plastic Impacts Health\, Climate\, and Our Oceans
DESCRIPTION:Healthy oceans provide vast cognitive\, emotional\, psychological\, social\, and spiritual wellness Blue Mind benefits to all of us throughout our lives. The oceans cover more than three-quarters of Earth’s surface and account for 97 percent of its water\, as well as much of the air we breathe. The oceans support an incredible array of life\, help regulate the climate\, and support life on our blue planet. Unfortunately\, our oceans face significant threats from human-made pollution\, particularly plastic. Experts estimate nine to 14 million metric tons of plastic enter the oceans each year\, and without urgent action\, that amount will only increase—projected to reach 23–37 million metric tons annually by the year 2040.

SUMMARY:July Green Drinks: Fire and Flood film screening
DESCRIPTION:Join us for July Green Drinks for a Sneak-Peek Screening of Fire and Flood: Queer Resilience in the Era of Climate Change. Queer Ecojustice Project and their fiscal host Out For Sustainability are sharing the draft sneak-peek screening of the Fire & Flood Film to raise awareness of LGBTQ+ vulnerability to climate change\, encourage conversations on resilience preparedness\, and to fundraise for the completion of the project. \nThis film tells the story of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico and the fires in Santa Rosa\, California\, two-near simultaneous climate-related disasters in the fall of 2017\, through the voices of LGBTQ people who lived through them and were part of the community response. \nYou can expect a powerful and engaging 104-min storyline full of brilliant\, insightful interviews with over 20 queer and trans people recounting their stories of disaster and resilience. \nWe will be offering two screenings. One with alternating English-Spanish captions for bilingual audiences\, and one with English-only captions for the hearing impaired (provided by the Scottish Queer International Film Festival). \nThis draft film is not yet rated. It contains some complex themes\, discussion of potentially triggering incidents\, and infrequent mature language. It is recommended for adult audiences or for young adult audiences who have access to adult mentors for discussion and processing. Watch the Trailer. \nTEC will collect voluntary donations for this event\, and are providing a sliding scale that will not turn people away for lack of funds. We hope you can join us! \n\n\n\n\nGet tickets here!

River and riparian cleanup activities will take place along the riparian areas of the Deschutes River at six different stewardship sites: La Pine State Park\, Meadow Camp Picnic Area\, Farewell Bend Park\, Riverbend Park\, First Street Rapids Trail\, and Tumalo State Park. We would like to thank our partners at Oregon State Parks and Leave No Trace for helping make this incredible day of stewardship possible! \nCommunity volunteers of all ages are invited to pull invasive weeds\, remove litter from the stream banks\, and dive instream to pull debris out of the river itself.

DESCRIPTION:Join the Weed Warriors to battle invasive weeds at our protected lands! Weed Warriors is a volunteer group that meets several times a month to remove invasive weeds like mullein\, spotted knapweed\, teasel\, and Canada thistle from the Land Trust protected lands. Non-native vegetation is a major threat to functioning natural areas. Pulling them by hand helps restore native plant communities. \nRating: Work party with moderate physical activity that includes digging and pulling weeds out of uneven ground. \nWhat to bring: Work gloves and weeding tools (if you have them)\, snacks\, water\, and closed toe shoes. Dress for the weather. \nRegister Here!
