SUMMARY:Forest Pub: Stories of the PNW Told by Tree Rings
DESCRIPTION:Purchase tickets here\nWhat can the rings of trees tell us? Cutting-edge research is revealing that tree rings hold more information than simply a tree’s age. Each ring can teach us something about the past climate\, local cultures\, ecosystems\, and even help reconstruct the history of wildfire. Develop a shared understanding of the ecological and social history of forest ecosystems in the Pacific Northwest with Dr. Andrew Merschel\, Co-director of the Tree Ring Lab at Oregon State University. \nForest Pubs are presented by World Forestry Center and McMenamins.

SUMMARY:Forest Pub: Walking Trees
DESCRIPTION:Purchase tickets here!\nOur forests are walking\, but should they be running? \nFossil evidence shows that trees naturally migrate\, but with the current pace of climate change\, they are struggling to keep up. As a result\, scientists are exploring what might happen if we step in to assist them. \nOPB’s All Science No Fiction host Jes Burns will moderate a thought-provoking panel discussion with leading experts about the potential impacts of climate change on forest migration within the Pacific Northwest\, the groundbreaking solutions being considered to help forests adapt\, and the ethical implications of human intervention in natural processes. \nThe program begins at 7 pm; doors open at 6 pm. \nSpeakers will share shallow and deep time perspectives: \n\nGlen Howe\, Director of the Pacific Northwest Tree Improvement Research Cooperative\, forest geneticist and Associate Professor at Oregon State University College of Forestry\, will discuss his research on local and contemporary assisted forest migration plans.\nPaige Wilson Deibel\, Ph.D\, a paleobotanist at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture at the University of Washington\, will share about how she studies fossils to understand the impact of mass extinction of plant species\, and the decimation of forests millions of years ago due to climate change and various disturbances.\n\nJoin us for an in-depth exploration of one of the most pressing issues facing our environment today – can we help our forests move fast enough to survive the challenges ahead? And should we? \nForest Pubs are presented by World Forestry Center and McMenamins.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Following Fire and Fire Maps
DESCRIPTION:Please RSVP for Free Ticket\nDoors and Gallery Tour: 6:00PM \nArtist Talk: 6:30PM \nCost: Free\, RSVP required \nJoin us in the Discovery Museum’s art gallery for a behind the scenes conversation with the creators of World Forestry Center’s featured temporary exhibitions. \nFollowing Fire\, A Resilient Forest / An Uncertain Future by photographer David Paul Bayles and disturbance ecologist Frederick Swanson\, studies the recovery of 173\,000 acres of forests and towns that burned along the McKenzie River during the Holiday Farm Fire in Oregon in 2020. Photographs weave a complex story of forest and community resilience in the face of growing challenges and uncertainties. \nFire Maps is an installation created by artist Kate Simmons and is inspired by her personal experience with wildfire evacuation during the Riverside Fire of Oregon that affected 138\,054 acres of land along the Clackamas River and Mt. Hood National Forest in 2020. The forms are molded from clay with immediacy to reflect the sudden and abrupt demand for people to evacuate their homes in response to the wildfire threat. The surface decoration of the figures is informed by satellite maps that tracked the progression of the fire and roadside evacuation markings left by authorities. \nLearn more about these exhibitions on our website. \nFire Maps\, by Kate Simmons

SUMMARY:History Pub: The Past\, Present and Future of Indigenous Fire Knowledge
DESCRIPTION:Since time immemorial\, Indigenous people in the Pacific Northwest have been tending to the land with fire. Indigenous ways of knowing and understanding a place come from generations of careful exploration\, experimentation\, and observation. In recent centuries\, non-Native ideas about fire and its relationships to land and people have dominated management policies and practices. As the reality of climate change becomes more evident\, including through devastating fires that catalyze global warming\, centering Indigenous approaches to land management is increasingly important. \nPresenters Joe Scott\, Siletz Tribal Member and Director of the Traditional Ecological Inquiry Program\, and Elizabeth Azzuz\, from the Yurok Tribe and Cultural Fire Management Council\, will share stories of Indigenous histories and approaches to fire management\, knowledge production\, and ecological stewardship. \n"All living things are fire dependent\, and that is the beginning of any tending process: the reintroduction of healthy fire." Joe Scott. \nPresented by Oregon Historical Society and World Forestry Center\, this program is the second in a two-part series about forests\, climate\, and history. It is hosted at McMenamin’s Kennedy School. \n    \n   \n$5 Tickets available here\nAbout the Speakers\nJoe Scott is a member of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians\, a descendent of the Rogue River Tribes of what is now Southwestern Oregon. He currently lives and works on Kalapuya Illahee as Director of the Traditional Ecological Inquiry Program\, collaborating with regional land stewards to support Tribal environmental engagement\, promote food sovereignty\, and explore traditional ways of knowing\, focused on Indigenous ecological science and traditional fire. He is a fire practitioner\, cultural ecologist\, traditional artist\, and a lifelong Tribal teacher and learner. \nLearn more at www.longtom.org/community/teip/ \nElizabeth Azzuz is a member of the Yurok tribe in Northern California\, Director of Traditional Burning and Treasurer for the Cultural Fire Management Council (CFMC) Board of Directors. The mission of CFMC is to facilitate the practice of cultural burning on the Yurok Reservation and Ancestral lands\, which will lead to a healthier ecosystem for all plants and animals\, long term fire protection for residents\, and provide a platform that will in turn support the traditional hunting and gathering activities of Yurok. \nLearn more at www.culturalfire.org/
