SUMMARY:River of No Return Wilderness Film
DESCRIPTION:Join Discover Your Forest and the Deschutes National Forest for an evening celebrating Wilderness! \nUS Fish & Wildlife Wolf Coordinator\, John Stephenson\, will discuss wolves in Oregon and their connection with the wolves in the Frank Church Wilderness in the film. \nThe Film\, River of No Return\, is set deep in the heart of Idaho’s Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness\, part of the largest roadless area left in the lower 48 states. At 2.5 million acres\, it is larger than Yellowstone\, yet most people have never even heard of it. Designated a federally-protected wilderness in 1980 by Congress\, the region is full of deep canyons and mountain forests\, rivers and abundant wildlife. Otters and elk\, deer and coyotes\, blue birds and bighorn sheep\, and newly-restored wolf populations all thrive there. Today\, nine packs of wolves roam freely through the park\, each pack dependent on family – raising their young and hunting together. \nWorking with the Nez Perce Tribe in Central Idaho\, wolf biologist Isaac Babcock spent 13 years participating in the wolf reintroduction program organized in the area. Wanting to share the raw beauty of the land and the wolves with his new wife\, Bjornen\, Isaac proposes spending a year there as an unconventional honeymoon\, documenting their days as they go along. River of No Return tells their story\, the story of a couple that took on the wilderness and all its challenges. The two have come to treasure their experience in an untamed place that\, for a period of time\, they called home. \n$3 at the door goes towards Discover Your Forest. \nBackground:\nThe Wilderness Act was signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson on September 3\, 1964 after having passed through Congress with bipartisan support. The original Act created approximately 9 million acres of Wilderness in 13 states. Since its passing\, 109\,511\,966 acres have been designated as Wilderness in 44 states and Puerto Rico.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Could A Carbon Tax be Good for Oregon?
DESCRIPTION:Can a Carbon Tax Combat Climate Change and be Good for Oregon’s Economy?\nCarbon taxes are becoming a hot topic around the country as an economically-efficient and market-driven way to combat climate change. Here in Oregon\, a foundational study\, “Carbon Tax and Shift: How to Make it Work for Oregon’s Economy” was published in March 2013\, and just last year the Oregon Legislature passed a bipartisan study bill (SB 306) to examine how a carbon tax\, or “clean air fee\,” could be structured in Oregon. \nOn Monday\, April 28\, join the Citizens’ Climate Lobby of Bend for a webinar presentation and interactive discussion to address the following: Why a carbon tax? Can a carbon tax be good for Oregon’s economy? Where can jobs be gained? How many emissions can be reduced? How can revenue be used? \nWhether your interest is business\, the environment\, politics or all three\, this is an important meeting to attend for Bend\, Oregon today and for the future. \nFeatured speakers: \nJeff Renfro\, senior economist with the Northwest Economic Research Center at Portland State University\, co-author of the 2013 “Carbon Tax and Shift” foundational study\, and a lead researcher for the Oregon Legislature’s carbon tax study bill (SB 306)\, will be presenting and taking questions from his office in Portland. \nJana Gastellum\, Program Director for Climate Protection with the Oregon Environmental Council\, will provide a context for carbon pricing policies in Oregon. \nCheck-in starts at 4:30 pm; program will start promptly at 5:00 pm. \nFree but RSVP is required (due to limited space) at bend@citizensclimatelobby.org.

SUMMARY:Salmon Run
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, the mighty Salmon make an expedition of a lifetime back to their homes – traversing thousands of miles and overcoming countless obstacles on their river journeys. The Salmon juxtapose the infinite space of their ocean homes against the micro-streams of their birth in one monumental run.
