SUMMARY:City Nature Challenge 2021
DESCRIPTION:Join us and organizations across the Upper Willamette in the City Nature Challenge. Observe and document the natural world in our backyards\, on our sidewalks\, and in our homes while contributing to research around the world. \nThe City Nature Challenge (CNC) is a community science bioblitz with the goal of observing and identifying as many species as possible in urban communities. Participants from more than 200 cities worldwide will contribute and so can you!  \nYou may be wondering – what is a BioBlitz? ‘Bio’ means ‘life’ and ‘blitz’ means ‘to do something quickly and intensively’. Together they make ‘BioBlitz’\, a collaborative race against the clock to discover as many species as possible\, within a set location\, over a defined time period. Plants\, animals\, fungi\, it all counts! Even tracks and other evidence of a species can be recorded.  \nFind out the name of that mystery plant growing nearby with iNaturalist\, a free and easy-to-use app and website with a community of experts helping you identify what you found. If you are in the Eugene/Springfield area and you make an observation on iNaturalist from April 30th-May 3rd\, it will automatically contribute to our total. Want to learn how to use iNaturalist? Check out our how-to video! \nPlease follow all travel and social distancing guidelines as we bring technology and nature together. Discover the nature around you during the City Nature Challenge!

SUMMARY:What Time Will Tell: Monitoring Over Time at Elijah Bristow State Park - Virtual Talk
DESCRIPTION:Ongoing monitoring is key to how we understand the habitats around us\, it allows us to see change (both good and bad) and better understand how restoration might benefit an area. At Elijah Bristow State Park there has been significant research over many years that has helped experts understand how and where fish are utilizing the waterways in the park. Matthew Collver\, Biologist with the Oregon Chub Monitoring Project\, will join us to talk about this extensive research and what that tells us about fish populations there\, including the very special Oregon chub. \nMatthew Collver is a project biologist with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) Native Fish Investigations Program in the Oregon Chub Monitoring Project. He has worked for ODFW since 2013\, filling a number of positions and gaining fisheries science experience throughout the state. He pursued this field of work because of his curiosity and love of all things outdoors. His professional interests include ecosystem ecology\, fisheries management\, and native fish conservation. His current position focuses on Oregon Chub research and recovery and allows him the opportunity to study and observe many other species using backwater and off-channel habitats in the Willamette River basin\, including fish\, amphibians\, mammals\, and aquatic vegetation. When not on the job he can often be found fishing\, hunting\, and recreating on the land and water he works to preserve and protect. \nRegistration is required for this event. A recording of the event\, including closed captioning\, will be shared with all those registered whether you attend or not. Please contact gale@middleforkwillamette.org with any questions. \n\nClick Here to Register\n\n

SUMMARY:Thurston Hills City Nature Challenge Birding Tour
DESCRIPTION:This year as part of the City Nature Challenge we are partnering with Willamalane Park and Recreation District to host a birding tour at Thurston Hills Natural Area. We will have experts on hand to help identify birds and teach you how to use eBird and iNaturalist. This tour will explore the new trails at the South entrance to Thurston Hills and highlight both past and future restoration projects undertaken by the Middle Fork Willamette Watershed Council and Willamalane as well as the birdlife found there. \nWe will be walking about two miles up and downhill on well-maintained trails as our guides share their insights on the birds found at the park\, how restoration has affected the bird population there\, and how community scientists (like yourself) can help further our understanding of birds at Thurston Hills. \nRegistration is required for all attendees as we are limiting the size of our group to allow for effective birding.

SUMMARY:Pint Night!
DESCRIPTION:The Middle Fork Willamette Watershed Council is participating in GivingTuesday! A global movement unleashing the power of radical generosity\, GivingTuesday encourages people to do good by giving. Our staff encourages you to embrace generosity on Tuesday November 28\, 2023\, to support our mission for a healthy Middle Fork Willamette Watershed through environmental education and habitat restoration for the entire community to enjoy. \nYour donation on GivingTuesday will go towards one of our floodplain restoration projects at Elijah Bristow State Park. Elijah Bristow State Park is a unique and wonderful place\, and because of this we are embarking on an inclusive method of planning for this restoration project that prioritizes community input throughout the planning process. Our restoration goals at Elijah Bristow State Park include reconnecting the floodplain and letting it meander\, spread out\, and create new pathways over 4.4 river miles. \nIn addition to our restoration specific goals\, restoration at Elijah Bristow State Park will also support youth education programs. The park is frequently used as an outdoor classroom by our Regional Education Team\, who has hosted over 31 field trips there since 2021. Field trips consist of Salmon Watch\, Habitat Surveys (WELL Program)\, Lane Migrant Education Forest Fridays Camp\, high school field trips\, Middle School Restoration Program and student stewardship. \nElijah Bristow State Park is widely enjoyed by a variety of users\, and we have been and will continue working with community members\, partners\, and park users to create the plan for restoration. Capacity to build these partnerships and facilitate project management will be made possible by your donation on Giving Tuesday\, November 28th. \nThere will be opportunities throughout the day to donate to our work\, finishing off with a fun evening at Falling Sky Brewpub where $1 of each beer sold is being donated to the Council. \nOur staff hopes to see you there\, and stay tuned for more updates on our campaign!
