SUMMARY:Appraising Residential Solar PV Systems
DESCRIPTION:Valuing the Sun – Appraising Residential Solar PV Systems\n\nThrough this hands-on workshop you will gain valuation tools that can be integrated into real world practice.  \nThe number of solar PV (photovoltaic) system installations has increased substantially while the costs have decreased dramatically. As solar PV becomes more common in the residential housing market\, so does the need for competent appraisers that are equipped to accurately appraise these unique types of properties. \nJoin our expert instructor\, Taylor Watkins\, as he teaches you how to apply adjustment techniques to a residential solar PV case study using three approaches to value. Through this hands-on workshop you will gain valuation tools that can be integrated into real-world practice. \nLearning Objectives\nUnderstand solar PV language\nUnderstand and apply net present value calculations to solar PV installations.\nRecongnize the impact of incentives and credits for solar and how they relate to the cost approach.\n​\nCourse Fee\n$35 | Earth Advantage Professionals (EA Broker\, SHP\, AGA or EA Builder)\n$45 | General Admission \nInstructor\nTaylor Watkins has been a certified residential appraiser in the Portland and Southwest Washington region for over 20 years. He owns one of Portland’s first net-zero homes\, the “Rose House.” Taylor frequently serves as a consultant and expert around the country on green home valuation issues\, including a study he conducted for Energy Trust of Oregon on the impact of photovoltaic panels on a home’s appraised value. He created and instructs the Appraising Green Homes courses that comprise EA’s Accredited Green Appraiser designation\, as well as teaches the Earth Advantage Broker (formerly S.T.A.R. – Sustainability Training for Accredited Real Estate Professionals) course in Oregon\, Washington\, Alabama\, and Virginia. \n\n\nQuestions?

SUMMARY:A Natives Perspective on American Indian History
DESCRIPTION:When Europeans arrived in North America more than 500 years ago\, they brought with them different cultural customs which soon spread across the land\, causing great loss of life and disruption of indigenous lives and cultures. Politically\, the dominant European City-State model permeated the continent\, and indigenous people were essentially forced to sign treaties that constructed sovereign tribal nations that in many cases bore little relationship to the traditional social structure and alliances. \nPre-registration is requested\, but not required. Register on line at trinitybend.org/education.

SUMMARY:Alder Springs Hike
DESCRIPTION:Join Central Oregon LandWatch for a moderate to strenuous walk down into the scenic lower Whychus Creek Canyon to Alder Springs. We will check out the confluence of the creek with the thundering Deschutes River below a towering wedge of rimrock on this premier Central Oregon hike. \nWatch for wildflowers\, raptors\, songbirds\, lizards\, and rattlesnakes enjoying the last bit of summer. This western portion of the Crooked River National Grassland is part of a mosaic of public and private lands that Central Oregon LandWatch is working to protect as important wildlife habitat\, winter range\, and a migration corridor between the Cascades and the Ochocos. \nThe drive from Bend to the trailhead is about 1 hour\, the last few miles of which are on a rough dirt road – high clearance\, 4WD strongly recommended. Please volunteer to drive if you have a rig that can handle this. \nThe approximately 6 mile round-trip hike is moderately to strenuous\, with a fair amount of elevation loss on the way out and gain on the way back. The hike can get hot and dusty. Bring: sun sauce\, bug sauce\, hiking boots\, shades\, a hat\, lunch\, and plenty of water. \nWe will meet in Bend at 9:00am for the carpool. All attendees will be asked to pitch in for gas. \nPlease note: As is often the case for hikers in this area\, we may encounter rattlesnakes on this hike.
