SUMMARY:Coast Fork Willamette Watershed Council Science Pub
DESCRIPTION:On March 27th\, the Coast Fork Willamette Watershed Council (CFWWC) welcomes Jenny Laxton\, Mt. Pisgah Arboretum Education Manager\, for our March 2018 Science Pub presentation entitled Slimy Creatures. This presentation will explore slugs\, snails\, worms and more! They might be a bit goopy\, sometimes drippy and high on your personal yuck factor scale\, but these underappreciated little critters are more fascinating than you’ve ever imagined. Break out your inner kid and examine our local slime creators with fresh eyes. Lions\, tigers and bears have nothing on the weird and wacky world of these charismatic critters. \nJenny Laxton has been teaching kids and adults about the outdoors for 15 years. She has an undergraduate degree in Environmental Studies from the University of Oregon and currently works as the Education Manager at Mount Pisgah Arboretum. She grew up in Oregon and enjoys helping people forge a greater connection to their small part of the world. She agrees with her 2 and 4-year old that the gross things in life are the most fun. \nThe CFWWC hosts a family-friendly monthly public meeting series called the Coast Fork Science Pub on the fourth Tuesday of each month from 5-7pm at the Axe & Fiddle\, 657 E. Main Street in Cottage Grove. The event begins with informal socializing\, trivia\, and updates about the watershed and watershed council during the first hour. The Science Pub presentation begins at 6pm. CFWWC receives 10% of all sales from the evening between 5-7:30pm. The event is free to the public\, with a $5 donation suggested.

SUMMARY:MFWWC Science Pub - Floodplain Restoration: The Story of Staley Creek & Board Elections
DESCRIPTION:Rivers and streams are dynamic environments that are constantly changing. Or at least they should be. For the last 50 years\, lower Staley Creek was static – confined to constructed berms that kept it channelized and didn’t allow water to flow out onto the floodplain. Thanks to a grant from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board and Western Native Trout Initiative\, as well as funding from the US Forest Service\, we were able to restore a one mile section of lower Staley to a more natural condition\, creating diverse habitat that will benefit fish and wildlife species and increase water storage. \nJoin our Restoration Projects Manager\, and her partners at the US Forest service (Hydrologist\, Lisa Kurian\, and Fish Biologist\, Matt Helstab) us as they share the story of why this project was needed\, what this partnership means for the river\, and how it will affect the overall health of the watershed. Come early and stay late as Hilltop has generously offered to donate 10% of all proceeds between 6pm and 9pm to the Middle Fork Willamette Watershed Council. \n\nThis event is free to the public with a $5 suggested donation.\n\nPlease note: we will be holding this event on the back patio of Hilltop. It is covered and has heaters but please dress for the weather!\n\nThis event will also be our annual board elections. You are an eligible voting members if you have attended a meeting or event in the last 6 months.  So if you have attended the Floodplain Science Pub in Oakridge\, Mushrooms of the Middle Fork\, or the Dorris Ranch Planting Celebration you are eligible. Or if you have attended any of the Board of Directors meetings themselves you are also eligible to vote. Check out our candidates on our website and we will see at the science pub!

SUMMARY:Dorris Ranch Community Planting Event
DESCRIPTION:Join us and help put the finishing touches on our oak woodland restoration project at Dorris Ranch.  Together with Willamalane we have worked to release the oak woodland\, and now we need your help to give it a little love. We will be planting native shrubs and wildflowers that are adapted to areas with more sunlight\, just like the newly restored woodland! These native plants will help attract pollinators\, provide key habitat for native birds and wildlife\, and reduce erosion on the open slopes. Your help will ensure that our work is successful and lasts well into the future. \nCome for the restoration\, stay for the celebration!  After getting our hands dirty planting we will gather at the Dorris Ranch barn for snacks and drinks to celebrate the watershed\, our volunteers\, and all the great work we have accomplished this year.  Drinks will be provided by Plank Town Brewing and Mountain Rose Herbs. \nCome help us finish restoring this woodland that we all love so much! \nPlease click here to register or email gale@mfwwc.org with questions.

SUMMARY:Friends of Buford Park & Mt. Pisgah Turtle Flats Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join the Friends’ of Buford Park Executive Director Chris Orsinger for a morning tour of Turtle Flats\, a 62 acre floodplain where the Coast Fork and Middle Fork of the Willamette River come together. The Friends recently purchased and are in the process of restoring the area. Come see the old gravel ponds which now are home to river otter\, western pond turtles\, and waterfowl and the willow wetlands where migratory songbirds flock.Turtle Flats is extremely important because it connects two key parcels that provide conservation and recreation benefits to our community – Glassbar Island\, owned by Oregon State Parks\, and Willamette Confluence Preserve\, owned by The Nature Conservancy. You’ll learn about the cooperative efforts of the Friends and these two organizations to transform their adjoining parcels into a vibrant community amenity where fish and wildlife thrive and where people can enjoy nature.The pace of this tour will be leisurely. However\, to enjoy this tour\, you must be able to walk comfortably over old gravel roads for approximately 2 miles and stand on your feet for 3 hours. As a reminder\, no pets are allowed on the tour.

SUMMARY:Middle Fork Science Pub:  Restoring the Staley Creek Floodplain
DESCRIPTION:Rivers and streams are dynamic environments that are constantly changing. Or at least they should be. For the last 50 years\, lower Staley Creek was static – confined to constructed berms that kept it channelized and didn’t allow water to flow out onto the floodplain. Thanks to a grant from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board and Western Native Trout Initiative\, as well as funding from the US Forest Service\, we were able to restore a one mile section of lower Staley to a more natural condition\, creating diverse habitat that will benefit fish and wildlife species and increase water storage. \n\nPlease join the US Forest Service Middle Fork Ranger District and the Middle Fork Willamette Watershed Council on Thursday\, October 5th\, from 6-8PM for a family-friendly presentation about the recent restoration work completed on lower Staley Creek this summer. Learn about general floodplain science\, what “restoration-in-action” looks like\, why this project took place\, how we expect the stream to change in the future\, and what this means for overall watershed health in the Middle Fork Willamette watershed basin. Sign-in\, order some food and drink and meet and greet from 6-6:30PM. The presentation will begin promptly thereafter. $10 suggested donation at the door. All are welcome! Questions? Give us a call at 541-937-9800 or email restoration@mfwwc.org.
