SUMMARY:Forest Pub: Stewarding Forest Park
DESCRIPTION:Stewarding Forest Park: How the Largest Urban Park Came to Be \nPurchase Tickets Here\nForest Park is more than just trees and trails—it’s a living\, breathing biodiversity sanctuary that has relied on community care for generations to come. Join the Forest Park Conservancy and local experts for a conversation about the park’s origins\, the efforts to preserve public access\, and how that legacy continues to shape stewardship today. \nFrom its early history to today’s efforts\, this event highlights the community’s essential role in shaping and sustaining one of the nation’s largest urban forests. Through stories of resilience\, advocacy\, and community involvement\, we’ll explore how Forest Park came to be—and what it takes to keep it thriving. \nWhether you’re a longtime supporter or just beginning to explore the park\, this is a chance to learn\, connect\, and be inspired to help steward its future. \nMeet the speakers:\n\nMarcy Cottrell Houle\, MS\, is a professional wildlife biologist and the author of seven award-winning books. Two of her books – Wings for My Flight\, and The Gift of Caring -- received the national Christopher Award “For books that affirm the highest values of the human spirit.” Her book The Prairie Keepers: Secrets of the Zumwalt was selected by the New York Times as a Notable Book and Best Book for Earth Day.

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.
