SUMMARY:Youth Climate Ecochallenge: A Drawdown Solutions Race!
DESCRIPTION:TEC would like to share an online educational opportunity – the Youth Climate Ecochallenge: A Drawdown Solutions Race. The challenge is presented by PAE and Ecochallenge.org and sponsored by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. The challenge focuses on top solutions to reverse climate change. It features online learning and research\, civic engagement\, and community building for youth and their community. The challenge runs April 15th – May 15th. \nThe actions in the challenge connect to solutions highlighted in Drawdown\, a project that maps\, measures\, models\, and describes solutions to global warming that already exist. Participants track and share their progress in the Ecochallenge platform\, earn points for taking action\, and see the real-time impact of their actions. The combination of collective action\, community-building\, and friendly competition makes change a little easier — and a lot more fun.

SUMMARY:Sounds from the Wetlands on KPOV
DESCRIPTION:High Desert Community Radio KPOV 88.9 FM\nWednesday\, April 22\, 12 am to 8 am and 1 pm to 5 pm \nThe Wetland Project is a multipart\, multidisciplinary study of an environmental soundscape. The inspiration lies in a tiny bit of Earth and the sounds that emanate from it: the ṮEḴTEḴSEN marsh in unceded W̱SÁNEĆ territory\, Saturna Island\, British Columbia. The sonic phenomena produced by this little wetland — and by wetlands everywhere — tend toward infinity\, but sadly also toward extinction. Explore the complex beauty of the soundscape with the Wetland Project slow radio broadcast\, new media installation and musical performance.

SUMMARY:The Secret Life of Rivers
DESCRIPTION:The Coalition for the Deschutes and Deschutes Redbands Chapter of Trout Unlimited would like to invite you to join via Zoom for a presentation with the entertaining\, edifying\, and endearing aquatic ecologist\, Dr. Jerry Freilich. \nRivers are like eyeglasses. Glasses appear transparent and utterly simple\, yet the subtle curves of a lens are anything but simple. Likewise\, a river seems like a pipe where water enters the top\, runs down a channel\, and empties into the sea. What could be simpler? Actually\, the ecology of rivers is complex\, concealed\, eye-opening and will likely surprise you. This program by Dr. Jerry Freilich will explain how rivers work. How many organisms actually make up the riverine ecosystem? Where do they get their energy? And how many of them have you actually heard of? With awareness of riverine ecology\, you will understand why it is unrealistic to think of a river as pipe and why rivers are so important to the basins they drain. \nWhen: Wednesday\, April 22nd\, 5:00 – 6:30 pm\, including time for Q & A\nVia Zoom. Join the meeting here:\nhttps://zoom.us/j/93292932101?pwd=aXlaaVgzWWtwRFdFbThPenJwUlRwZz09 \nWho the heck is this Jerry guy?\nDr. Jerry Freilich is a native of Philadelphia. He worked at the Academy of Natural Sciences there beginning at age 11. He is an aquatic ecologist who spent 25 years working for the National Park Service in six parks nationwide. For the last 13 years he was Research Coordinator at Olympic National Park and recently retired to Bend. Jerry’s PhD work was a study of salmonflies at Grand Teton National Park. The work required individually tagging 3\,000 salmonfly nymphs with tiny numbered tags and following their movements about in the river. Although this gave him the microscopic-eye view of river ecology\, he warns not to try this at home.

SUMMARY:This Land: Documentary Screening and Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:“Runner and advocate Faith E. Briggs used to run through the streets of Brooklyn every morning. Now\, she’s running 150 miles through three U.S. National Monuments that lay in the thick of the controversy around public lands. Accompanied by running companions who represent diverse perspectives in what it means to be a public land owner\, she assesses what is at stake if previously protected lands are reduced and if the public is largely unaware. THIS LAND is a story about land access told through a journey of inclusion and empowerment.” \nJoin Oregon Wilf for a screening of THIS LAND followed by a panel discussion featuring Ani Kame’enui\, Autumn Harry\, and José González\, moderated by Faith E. Briggs.
