SUMMARY:Wildfire on the Siskiyou Crest: Miller Complex 2017 Case Study
DESCRIPTION:Come learn about the keystone process of our forests; fire is essential and beneficial for our forests’ health. The Miller Complex burned in and around the Red Buttes Wilderness Area\, south of Applegate Reservoir in the summer of 2017 on 36\,000 acres. The fire burned through a variety of habitats creating a rich pattern of fire severity and enhancing the region’s exceptional biodiversity. Come hear from Luke Ruediger\, of the Siskiyou Field Office of the Klamath Forest Alliance\, and explore the burns’ ecological implications\, fire severity\, and fire suppression impacts. \nLuke Ruediger is a local naturalist\, environmental activist and fire ecologist working for the Klamath Forest Alliance. He works to document the actual on-the-ground effects of wildfire in our region. He runs a program exploring local wildfires and wildfire management called\, the Klamath-Siskiyou Fire Reports. Each fall when the smoke has cleared\, Luke is out hiking the season’s wildfires\, assessing the fire effects and long term implications. He is the author of “The Siskiyou Crest” and this last fall he wrote the Salmon August Fire Report\, Eclipse Fire Report and Miller Complex Fire Report.

SUMMARY:Birding Without Borders: An Epic World Big Year
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nIn 2015\, bird nerd Noah Strycker of Oregon became the first human to see more than half of the planet’s bird species in a single\, year-long\, round-the-world birding trip. Anything could have happened\, and a lot did. He was scourged by blood-sucking leeches\, suffered fevers and sleep deprivation\, survived airline snafus and car breakdowns and mudslides and torrential floods\, skirted war zones\, and had the time of his life. Birding on seven continents and carrying only a pack on his back\, Strycker enlisted the enthusiastic support of local birders to tick more than 6\,000 species\, including Adelie Penguins in Antarctica\, a Harpy Eagle in Brazil\, a Spoon-billed Sandpiper in Thailand\, and a Green-breasted Pitta in Uganda. He shared the adventure in real time on his daily blog (audubon.org/noah)\, and now he reveals the inside story. This humorous and inspiring presentation about Strycker’s epic World Big Year will leave you with a new appreciation for the birds and birders of the world.

SUMMARY:Sun Print Workshop Sunday July 16  2 pm
DESCRIPTION:Join us to learn about the principles of photography and then make a sun print to take home!  Kids will explore how light can transform the Sunprint paper similar to photography.  The blue molecules embedded in the paper are sensitive to ultra-violet light. We will arrange objects onto the 4″x4″ Sunprint paper indoors.  We will then take it outside & lay it out to expose the paper.  The areas of the paper exposed to the sun will fade from blue to white (2-5 minutes).   We will then rinse the paper in water & whatever was not exposed will washout & be white.  A piece of art is created.  For ages 5+
