SUMMARY:CULTIVATING HEALTHY COMMUNITIES (a Virtual Conference): Confronting Health Threats\, Climate Disasters\, and Biodiversity Collapse with a Toxic-Free Future
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Conference—May 25\, June 1\, June 8 and June 15\, 2021\n\nScientific understanding. Collective action. Systemic change. A toxic-free future. Organic transition. The serious and existential environmental and health challenges that we face bring an urgency to the focus of this Forum and the work that is going on in communities around the U.S. and the world. Central to the solution is the elimination of petroleum-based pesticides and fertilizers in exchange for regenerative organic land management and nontoxic materials that stop the harm from toxic chemical production\, use\, and disposal. We recognize that this is the only way to protect our children and families\, those in workplaces\, pets\, pollinators\, and the rich diversity of organisms essential to life.

SUMMARY:Virtual Event: A Guide to Restoring the Little Things That Run the World
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Doug Tallamy\, entomologist and author of Nature’s Best Hope\, for this lively discussion. A recent UN report predicts that as many as 1 million species will disappear from planet earth because of human activities. Many of these are insects and nearly all species at risk rely on insects. Insects have already declined 45% since 1974. How do we create beautiful landscapes brimming with life; landscapes that support the pollinators\, herbivores\, detritivores\, predators and parasitoids that run the ecosystems on which we depend? Tallamy will remind us of the many essential roles insects play\, and describe the simple changes we must make to keep insects on the ground\, in the air and yes\, on our plants. Also learn about the Native Plant Society of Oregon: High Desert Chapter\, the Bend Pollinator Pathway\, and how you can get involved. What can we plant and what actions can we take to support native pollinators in Central Oregon? \nThis virtual event is FREE but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Whychus Creek at Pine Meadow Ranch Weed Pull
DESCRIPTION:Join Pine Meadow Ranch and Coalition for the Deschutes to pull knapweed and other invasive weeds along Whychus Creek as it flows through the ranch. \nWhere: Pine Meadow Ranch\, Sisters \nFor more information and to register\, send an email to Inge@CoalitionfortheDeschutes.org \nYou’ll start each of the weed pulls with an overview of logistics and safety protocols and talk about the what and why of pulling invasive plants. Participants will be required to sign a release waiver. Covid-19 protocols will be observed. \nWhy pull invasive weeds: \n\nNoxious weeds invade a variety of habitats\, including wildlands such as the National Forest and Deschutes River corridor.\nThey displace and compete with native vegetation\, thus reducing wildlife forage\, erosion control\, and overall watershed health.\nThe Bend/Ft. Rock District of the Deschutes National Forest has documented approximately 2\,300 acres of infestations. Some of these infestations are in our favorite places to recreate.\nWe need your help with controlling noxious weeds so we can continue to enjoy these special places!
