SUMMARY:New Hikes of Central and Southern Oregon\, with William Sullivan
DESCRIPTION:Author\, historian\, backcountry adventurer William Sullivan has just done a complete update the hiking guide book for Central Oregon – huge changes because of fires and an upcoming permit system. He is also doing new printing of “100 Hikes in Southern Oregon” next month that includes the Jack-Ash Trail and updated information related to recent fire effects. Come hear from Oregon’s history and hiking guru on his yearly visit to the Northwest Nature Shop! \nThe author of three novels and a dozen nonfiction books\, Sullivan grew up in Salem\, Oregon. He completed his B.A. degree in English at Cornell University under Alison Lurie\, studied linguistics at Germany’s Heidelberg University\, and earned an M.A. in German at the University of Oregon. He reads in a dozen languages\, plays the pipe organ\, and enjoys backcountry ski expeditions. \nSullivan is known in the American West as the author who backpacked more than a thousand miles across Oregon’s wilderness in 1985. His journal of that adventure\, “Listening for Coyote\,” has since been chosen one of Oregon’s “100 Books\,” the most significant books in state history.\nIn summer he writes at the log cabin that he and his wife Janell Sorensen built by hand in the wilds of Oregon’s Coast Range\, more than a mile from roads\, electricity\, and telephones. The rest of the year they live in Eugene\, Oregon\, where he volunteers to promote libraries and literature.

SUMMARY:Bee Friendly! Protecting pollinators in the Rogue Valley (Talk)
DESCRIPTION:Bee Friendly! and learn about current efforts to protect and restore pollinator populations in southern Oregon. In this “quick talk” format\, we’ll hear two 25 minute talks from local pollinator aficionados. Travis Owen\, will share incredible local pollinator photographs and interesting information about native pollinators. Kristina LeFever will discuss community efforts to reform pesticide policy and use\, as well as grassroots strategies for creating more pollinator-friendly habitat. \nGet involved! We’ll discuss ways that everyone can get involved with pollinator protection and enhancing pollinator habitat in their yards. \n  \nTravis Owen:  \nTravis Owen is a self-described nature enthusiast with a passion for pollination ecology and the role of pollinators in the environmental context of Southern Oregon. His passions have grown and evolve over time. In his twenties he was a DJ\, then taught himself to build furniture\, began to learn the ways of plants\, then pollinators. All the while\, he was teaching himself how to take pictures and write about what he sees on his fantastic website: the Amateur Anthecologist.  He recently founded the Easy Bees Company\, a commercial beekeeping startup offering products and services delivered with integration of science & ecology. \n  \nKristina Lefever: \nKristina moved to the Rogue Valley in 2012 and immediately became enamored with the re- gion’s flora and fauna\, especially our pollinators. At the same time\, she began learning about the unprecedented decline of all pollinators and the associated implications for our food system and ecosystem.  \nShe and her husband turned their barren property in Ashland into a pollinator garden\, with many native plants\, trees – and dandelions – but of course it’s never finished. She intends to leave more bare (unmulched) soil to provide nesting areas for native bees! Kristina loves teaching about our native bees\, butterflies\, flies\, wasps\, beetles\, and humming- birds\, and the plants and habitats that best support them.  \nKristina is president of Pollinator Project Rogue Valley\, chair of Bee City USA Ashland\, a board member of Beyond Toxics\, and a certified Jackson County Master Gardener. Her dream is that everyone’s yard will include a little or a lot of pollinator habitat\, even if it’s just a pot of nepeta (catmint) on the porch.  \n

SUMMARY:The Conundrum of "Megafires" - talk with Dennis Odion PhD
DESCRIPTION:Join us for either/or both a fire Talk & Walk: \nOctober 24th TALK: “Megafires” are increasingly damaging to people and their assets. We constantly hear that “active management” of forests is a cannot-miss solution with highly desired fringe benefits. \nBut\, what is “active management”? Can it live up to the hype? This Talk will explore these questions. \nOctober 26th WALK: The follow up field trip to Grizzly Peak will complement the presentation by focusing on the ecological effects of crown (severe) fire in our forests. More details and RSVP here. \n\nDennis Odion\, Ph.D is an ecologist interested in vegetation pattern and process. He has studied fire behavior and effects via field experiments and geographical methods. He previously monitored fires as a vegetation manager and field technician in northern California\, gaining valuable practical experience with fire suppressed forests\, and on the subject of living with fire. \nDr. Odion has also studied the resiliency of fire-specialized species. He has lived in Ashland since 2000.

SUMMARY:The Genius of Maria Merian: free talk
DESCRIPTION:In the mid-1600s\, most people believed frogs\, mice\, and insects generated spontaneously from mud\, dung or dead animals\, and were evidence of the devil’s presence. Young Maria Sibylla Merian collected insects and recorded metamorphosis by painting insects in secret. Her very passions put her at risk of being charged\, sentenced\, and executed for being a witch. She radically broke the mores of her day and changed science in her lifetime. A hundred years later\, her paintings and methods influenced other naturalists including the young ornithologist Audubon. \nSpeaker Jari Thymian is a full-time traveling RVer. Along with her husband Greg\, she volunteers for extended periods in state and national parks\, historic sites\, wildlife refuges and hatcheries as interpretive tour guide and jack-of-all trades. They’re in their sixth year of adventure and have volunteered at nine sites in six states. Jari caught and preserved her first insects starting in Minnesota 4-H in the 1960s.
