SUMMARY:Orcas & Salmon
DESCRIPTION:Date and Time\n\nTue\, January 15\, 2019 \n7:00 PM – 8:15 PM PST \n\nLocation\n\nPybus Public Market \n3 North Worthen Street \nWenatchee\, WA 98801 \n\nThe Pybus University class on Tuesday\, January 15 at 7pm is entitled: “Orcas & Salmon – The Link Between the Resident Orcas of Puget Sound & the Salmon and People of North Central Washington.” It is taught by Barbara Carrillo and Greer Maier. \nOrcas in Pacific Northwest waters have struggled over the last several decades with pollution\, boat noise and a lack of prey – chinook salmon. Although far from the Pacific Ocean and Puget Sound\, North Central Washington and the Upper Columbia play a highly critical role in the success of the endangered orcas that live off Washington’s coast. In this presentation\, we will explore why the orca population has dwindled and how North Central Washington and the Upper Columbia region as well as the Upper Columbia Salmon Recovery Board and their partners are part of the Orca solution. We will also look at the state’s Orca Task Force\, convened by the governor in March\, and discuss shoring up salmon populations in North Central Washington to provide more food for the orcas. We will also address the link between forest health and salmon recovery and learn why “fish grow on trees!” \nPresenter Barbara Carrillo received her Associates of Arts degree from Wenatchee Valley College and her Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications with Grand Canyon University. Barbara is an experienced independent consultant in media relations\, outreach\, journalism\, marketing and communications. Barbara has been with the Upper Columbia Salmon Recovery Board for 11 years and enjoys community education and outreach\, teaching others about salmon recovery and forest health. \nPresenter Greer Maier has worked as a fish biologist for the past 10 years. She received a Master’s of Science from the University of Washington School of Aquatic and Fisheries Sciences studying juvenile Chinook salmon in the Columbia River estuary. Her professional experience includes working for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service\, U.S. Geological Survey\, NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service\, and U.S. Forest Service. \nLearn more about the Upper Columbia Salmon Recovery Board at http://ucsrb.org

SUMMARY:Story of the Wanapum People
DESCRIPTION:Story of the Wanapum People by Rex Buck\, Jr. \nJanuary 22\, 2019 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm \nLocation: Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center \nRex Buck\, Jr.\, 61\, chief of the Priest Rapids Band of the Wanapum\, discusses the impact of displacement on his tribe and his hope for renewed connections to the land among future generations of Wanapum Indians in this hour-long talk and slide show. Buck grew up near the Manhattan Project site at Hanford along the Columbia River. When the U.S. government selected Hanford as a site for plutonium production\, Buck and the rest of the Wanapum tribes were forced off their land. Upriver at the last village\, which contains 11 buildings in the shadow of the Priest Rapids Dam\, the few surviving Wanapum people wait to see what will happen as they cope with the tremendous cultural change brought by displacement. Buck explains how the Wanapum’s continued connection to a portion of their homeland has helped to preserve centuries-old cultural traditions including their strongest belief: That Priest Rapids is a special\, sacred place. A place that the Wanapum people must protect and preserve for future generations. \nA $5 donation is requested at the door. Light refreshments will be available along with a no-host wine bar. \nSponsored by:

SUMMARY:North American Rainforest Caribou to Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
DESCRIPTION:the North American rainforest caribou to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge \nIn WRI’s Red Barn on Wednesday\, January 25th\, wildlife expert\, author\, photographer\, and tracker David Moskowitz shares from his book Caribou Rainforest: From Heartbreak to Hope. In a North American rainforest that few people know exists\, about a dozen dwindling herds of mountain caribou are struggling to survive –in the US herd\, fewer than twenty of these shy animals remain. \nThis iconic ungulate\, identified as an “umbrella species” by conservationists (protecting their habitat contributes to the preservation of a variety of species sharing the same delicate ecosystem) are some of the last of the great caribou herds that once roamed throughout the northern US. Moskowitz’ book provides examples of shifting challenges and tactics for wildlife and mountain caribou conservation in the twenty-first century. While the topics are at times wrenching and even contentious\, Moskowitz tells us that opportunities to engage effective solutions still exist. In Caribou Rainforest\, the author searches for lessons that can turn despair into hope and stories that can become the inspiration for committed change. \nThe author of three books\, David Moskowitz has contributed his technical expertise focusing on tracking and other non-invasive methods to study wildlife ecology\, to a wide variety of regional studies\, as well as in the Canadian and US Rocky Mountains. To promote conservation\, he helped establish the Cascade Citizen Wildlife Monitoring Project\, a citizen science effort to search for\, and monitor\, rare and sensitive wildlife in the Cascades and other Northwest wildlands. \n“Dave is an adventurer with a heart connected to all things wild\, so when he is presenting he takes you on a kind of thoughtful journey\, leaving your spirit brightened by the beauty in his photographs\, joyful from the comedy in his stories\, and satiated with his insights in natural history.” —Erik Kingfisher\, Jefferson Land Trust\, Port Townsend\, WA \nDoors open at 6:30PM with presentations beginning at 7PM. Admission is by donation. \nWenatchee River Institute\, 347 Division Street in Leavenworth. www.wenatcheeriverinstitute.org

SUMMARY:Supervolcanoes in the Pacific Northwest
DESCRIPTION:Wenatchee Valley Erratics Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute will meet at 7:00 P.M.\, Tuesday\, February 12 at the Wenatchee Valley Museum\, 127 South Mission\, Wenatchee. \nOur speaker is Nick Zentner\, the animated and gifted teacher/geologist from CWU. His topic:\n\nSupervolcanoes in the Pacific Northwest \nWhy is there 30 feet of volcanic ash south of Vantage\, Washington? \nFor years\, geologists thought the tephra must have come from a big eruption in the Cascades. New data from the ash bed confirms that a supervolcano in southern Idaho erupted 11.8 million years ago and sent ash to Washington and Nebraska simultaneously! \nCheck out Nick’s website\, http://www.nickzentner.com\, with links to his lectures\, his 2-Minutes Geology\, Roadside Geology\, and PBS videos. And now he has a podcast! “The Nick Zentner Geology Podcast.” \nThe program is free & open to the public. \nFor overviews of the Ice Age Floods and more information on the Ice Age Floods Institute\, please see our website: http://www.iafi.org; http://www.hugefloods.com; and quadricopter videos of Ice Age features\, http://www.brucebjornstad.com.\n——— \n­Contact information: \nBrent Cunderla\, Chapter President\ncunderla@nwi.net\n509-662-4419

SUMMARY:Rock Glaciers of the Eastern Cascades
DESCRIPTION:Red Barn Event at the Wenatchee River Institute\, Wednesday\, Feb. 13th \nRock Glaciers of the Eastern Cascades\, Professor Karl Lillquist\, Geography Department at Central WA University \nCentral WA University Professor Karl Lillquist will present Rock Glaciers of the Eastern Cascades in Wenatchee River Institute’s Red Barn on Wednesday\, Feb. 13th. Doors open at 6:30PM for community social with presentation beginning at 7PM. \nWhen we think of the Cascade Mountain Range\, glaciers often come to mind. In fact\, author and prolific climber Fred Beckey’s classic book is aptly titled Range of Glaciers. However\, rock glaciers have not claimed the same amount of fame. These glaciers elongate to broad deposits of rock and ice which\, show evidence of movement away from steep slopes in mountainous terrain. Traditionally\, Rock glaciers were considered key landforms and climate indicators of more continental mountain ranges\, where snowfall and winter temperatures are lower than their marine counterparts. Little attention was had been given to rock glaciers in the marine-influenced Cascade Range. Rock glaciers across Washington’s Eastern Cascades have now been identified\, mapped\, and analyzed in an effort to understand how\, why\, and when they formed. Such glaciers are also being used as a tool to better understand permafrost in the Eastern Cascades\, and its significance as a regional water supply in a warming world. \nLillquist is a physical geographer who has been a CWU faculty member since 1995. His first academic love is physical geography field study and\, as he grew up in Coulee City\, WA\, this likely played a big part in developing his focus. \n“I grew up amidst the Channeled Scablands of eastern Washington. My parent’s house was situated on a late Pleistocene flood scoured basalt surface\, and I grew up recreating in this unique landscape. Also\, I spent my summers removing rocks (glacial erratics) from wheat fields located behind the terminus of the Okanogan Lobe of the Cordilleran Icesheet\,” tells Lillquist. \nLillquist teaches physical geography\, geomorphology\, soils\, snow\, airphoto analysis\, field methods\, mountain environments\, arid lands\, and graduate research. His current research is focused on environmental change in the mountains and deserts of the western U.S.\, with an emphasis on using geomorphology\, soils\, and stratigraphy to better understand glaciers\, rock glaciers\, glacial lakes\, and arroyos. \nAll ages welcome and admission is by donation | 347 Division Street in Leavenworth www.wenatcheeriverinstitute.org
