SUMMARY:Booksigning First Friday December 2nd
DESCRIPTION:Filled with mystery conjured by unparalleled biodiversity\, the Klamath Mountains tell numerous\nstories of evolution and resilience shaped over long periods of time. Geology is the defining\ncharacter of this range\, with numerous smaller ranges—including the Siskiyou\, Marble\, and\nTrinity mountains—forming a jigsaw puzzle of big-shouldered river canyons and sharp ridgelines.\nWithin the Klamath Knot\, geology also shapes climate with wet coastal rainforests in the west\nand dry semi-deserts in the east. \nMichael Kauffmann and Justin Garwood co-edited a new work titled The Klamath Mountains: A\nNatural History with the help of 32 other authors. Experts in all aspects of the region’s natural\nhistory came together and are the first to tell the entire story. \n  \nMichael and Justin will be discussing and signing books on December 2nd at the Northwest\nNature Shop from 6 to 8 pm and on December 3rd will be presenting at Southern Oregon University from 7-9pm.\nThese events are co-sponsored by the Northwest Nature Shop\, Rogue Valley Audubon Society\,\nand KS Wild.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Richard Crossley
DESCRIPTION:Richard Crossley’s field guides have been Northwest Nature Shop favorites for years.  Richard Crossley is an internationally acclaimed birder\, photographer and award-winning author of ‘The Crossley ID Guide’ series. Born in Yorkshire\, he also lived in Japan\, and birded worldwide before settling down in the USA. \nRichard will talk about birding lessons learned from living on 3 continents to paying back through conservation initiatives and youth birding. It will be a fast-paced story told in a Yorkshire brogue\, through a camera lens that loves color and art\, but with a strong point of view.\nCrazy\, wildly passionate\, driven and single-minded are just a few of the words used to describe his love of birding and the outdoors. He quickly became obsessed with the newfound opportunities provided by digital technology\, Photoshop and book design. The Crossley ID Guide series was created. The innovative design shows a more lifelike and complete picture\, challenging many of the traditional ‘old-school’ book layouts. With humor and depth Richard will highlight the thoughts behind the revolutionary ‘The Crossley ID Guide’ series to self-publishing his latest guide on Western Birds – some of it will surprise you! \n Come and listen to Richard’s optimistic outlook for birding\, lifestyles and conservation. It’s sure to change the way you think! \nFree admission\, no assigned seating. 7 pm. Doors open at 6:30 pm. \nThis presentation is at Bellview Grange\, 1050 Tolman Creek Rd\, Ashland\, OR 97520

SUMMARY:Guided Fall Mushroom Walk #4
DESCRIPTION:Join our local mushroom expert Mike Potts for a slow-paced\, off-trail walk through the woods and learn your way around the world of wild fungi. The emphasis will be on finding fungi and learning about identification and the diversity of mushroom species and how to sustainably harvest wild mushrooms. Edible and poisonous varieties will be discussed. Meet at the Northwest Nature Shop\, 154 Oak St.\, Ashland at 10:00 am where we’ll gather as a group and then drive to the foraging location (approximately 45 – 60 minutes from Ashland.) Return to Ashland by 4:00 pm. \nBe prepared for adverse weather. Wear appropriate hiking shoes (We will be doing some off-trail walking on uneven terrain)\, bring a water bottle\, a lunch\, rain gear\, a collecting basket\, a foldable knife\, a mushroom ID book if you have one\, and a whistle. Cost is $55 per person per hike.  6 dates offered:  Saturday September 24\, Sunday September 25\, October 2nd\, October 15\, October 16 and October 22nd.   The location of each hike will be disclosed at a later date to give us flexibility in planning around weather and mushroom abundance. Space is limited so sign up early.  Payment at the time of registration is required. Call 541-482-3241 to sign up or email northwestnatureshop@gmail.com \n  \nHOW TO PREPARE: \n\nDress appropriately for the weather. The key to having an enjoyable experience is to be prepared for the possibly cold and wet weather.  We will be in the forests of the southern Oregon Cascade range @ 4500 ft so expect considerably colder temps at that elevation.  We won’t be moving that fast so you might get colder than you do on normal hikes! We recommend dressing in layers and bringing waterproof outer layers. We will walk rain or shine.\n\n\nWear sturdy shoes. It is important to wear appropriate shoes/boots for being in the forest. Expect uneven terrain through the forest and be prepared to traverse through undergrowth\, over fallen branches\, and logs at times.\nThere are no bathrooms or outhouses at trail heads we leave from. Please plan accordingly.\nBring a lunch\, water\, knife\, safety whistle\, and basket or bag for collecting.\nPlease\, No Dogs.  We love them but for mushroom walks\, we have to ask you to leave them home.\n\n\nBring a positive attitude and an open mind to learn about the world of fungi around you.

SUMMARY:Build Your Own Birdhouse - CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:We are sorry to inform you that we have cancelled the Build your Own Birdhouse activity on March 28th due to the guidelines to slow the spread of COVID-19. \nTreat your backyard birds to a house of their own.  We are thankful that Lee Webb and the Siskiyou Audubon Society will be here at Northwest Nature Shop on Saturday\, March 28th at 11 am to lead a fun-filled\, family-friendly morning of creating nesting boxes for our feathered friends. Siskiyou Audubon Society volunteers will walk you through building your own birdhouse to put in your yard. You will assemble a birdhouse from pre-cut materials and learn more about ways to attract songbirds to your backyard. We provide the materials and experience\, and you just bring a hammer and a $5 donation for the Siskiyou Audubon Society. Take home your birdhouse along with a wealth of information about backyard birding! \n
