SUMMARY:Forest 'restoration' and biomass: trouble for Central Oregon?
DESCRIPTION:Take a trip up the Cascades Highway and you’ll see what the Forest Service is doing in the name of ‘restoration’. This is just the beginning of an extensive\, but questionable\, attempt to preclude large wildfires in the Deschutes National Forest. \nThe slash piles from these fuel reduction efforts are slated to feed local biomass projects. Biomass is being hyped as “green” renewable energy\, yet is anything but that considering its carbon and air pollution impacts. \nIn this talk\, we will present research debunking forest ‘restoration’ and biomass myths. \nQ&A to follow. Seating limited\, sign up today. \nSpeakers: \nGeorge Wuerthner is an ecologist who has published 38 books including ‘Wildfire: A Century of Failed Forest Policy.’ Hans van Naerssen is a local environmentalist and former international business/government consultant. \nModerator: Laurie Lakin

SUMMARY:Assessing the Function and Ecology of a Beloved River System
DESCRIPTION:Part II: Deschutes River Flows \nAssessing the Function and Ecology of a Beloved River System\nPlease arrive at 6:00 pm to get seated. \nSpeakers: Jason Gritzner\, USFS\, and Jennifer O’Reilly\, USFW. \nThe current condition of the Upper Deschutes River is a hot topic and processes are underway to develop solutions to improve the ecological function of the river. \nAlthough the degraded condition of the river has been recognized for years\, the recent ESA listing of the Oregon spotted frog has highlighted a broader aspect of the Deschutes River that includes the adjacent wetlands. \nOur program presenters\, Jason Gritzner and Jennifer O’Reilly\, are local scientists working to assess the effects of water management on the Upper Deschutes River and wetland ecosystems. \nThrough partnerships in the basin\, their focus is to elucidate how flows interface with and support the function of the Deschutes River and its adjacent riverine wetlands. \nRegistration Required. Suggested donation of $10/person; includes hors d’oeuvres and a drink. \n\nJoin the Coalition for the Deschutes for two programs related to the Upper Deschutes River and the Oregon Spotted Frog: \nThe first\, on Monday\, January 9 will address the legal aspects of the frog.\n\nThe second\, on Tuesday January 24\, will review the latest science about the frog and the river channel.

Project SNOW (Studying Nature Outdoors in Winter) is dedicated to providing a rich outdoor education experience for students that instills in them a sense of awe and stewardship for the environment. Project SNOW provides an unforgettable winter adventure that combines hands-on science education with snowshoe-powered outdoor exploration for over 2\,000 kids in Central Oregon.
