SUMMARY:Fly Tying Series with W.R.I.
DESCRIPTION:Fly Tying Series with Wenatchee Valley Fly Fishers’ Bruce Merighi and the Wenatchee River Institute \nDo you fly fish or would you like to fly fish? Then you need flies! Learn the basics of fly tying from Wenatchee Valley Fly Fishers’ Bruce Merighi. This is a five-Tuesday series Feb. 11 – Mar. 10\, 6-8PM in Wenatchee River Institute’s Red Barn\, 347 Division St. in Leavenworth. There is nothing like catching a fish with a fly you hand tied. \nEnjoy small-group instruction by Merighi and the Wenatchee Valley Fly Fishers\, assisted by the Trout Unlimited Icicle Valley Chapter. Learn about fly-fishing equipment\, philosophy and the basic entomological connections between aquatic food sources and local fish -with minimal Latin. Each student will come away with an understanding of beginning fly tying techniques\, including the use of tools and various fly tying materials enabling the independent tying of diverse patterns. \n“Tying a fly is more than bringing together materials to create a lure. It’s realizing you must learn so much more in order to fish correctly with a fly. Its not just randomly trolling\, casting with large lures\, or chucking a glob of fish food out from shore in hopes a fish might randomly swim by and take the bait. It’s first understanding why a fish would take your offering and then bringing together those materials to create an appealing fly\,” tells Merighi. \nMerighi received his first fly-fishing outfit for his 8th birthday. After losing most of the flies from the kit amongst tree branches and between deep rocks\, he bought a few hooks\, gathered a few strands of Christmas tinsel and together with dust bunnies collected from under his bed\, he tied his first flies. From then on\, Merighi was hooked! \nFind out more about observing the natural habitat of the fish species you are perusing to determine the best appearance and action of your entomological creation. You will then be able to experience the satisfaction of catching fish with your own hand tied flies. \nAll materials and tools are provided. Students will leave with 6-8 flies to begin new fly-fishing adventures. Class size is limited to 12\, is designed for ages 15 and up with skill levels from beginner to Intermediate. Please contact Rachel Bishop with questions\, rbishop@wenatcheeriverinstitute.org or 509-548-0181 x5. \nSeries cost is $60 for WRI-members and $70 for non-members\, including all five evenings with materials and tools provided. \nEvent link: https://wenatcheeriverinstitute.org/event-calendar.html/event/2020/02/11/fly-tying-series/274359\nAdditional Links: http://wenatcheevalleyflyfishers.com/ and https://iciclevalley.tu.org/

SUMMARY:Pybus University-Working Towards Zero Waste
DESCRIPTION:We all want to reduce our waste\, but is “zero waste” really achievable? Join us in a discussion about ways to produce less garbage. What can really be recycled in NCW? What can be avoided entirely? And should “zero waste” really be the goal? We’ll take a virtual walk through the typical home\, talking about practical ways to reduce waste in each area of our lives. There will be an emphasis on items we use in the kitchen and “on-the-go\,” where much of our waste comes from. We will provide ideas for reusable items that can replace disposable options\, and where to find them. We’ll provide local resources for recycling\, reusing and composting as well. We’ll also talk about how we can change our outlook from the focus on consumption and convenience\, to one of being mindful about the “stuff” that we buy and where it goes when we’re done with it. \nThis is a FREE event but Pybus asks attendees to register using the link below. Rumor has it that there could also be free childcare for this event provided by TEAMS Learning Center (stay tuned!). \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/working-towards-zero-waste-tickets-86610884487

SUMMARY:Avalanche Cycles & Atmospheric Rivers with W.R.I.
DESCRIPTION:Science on Tap! Avalanche Cycles and Atmospheric Rivers- the winter of 2019-20 in the Central Cascades \nOn Thu. Feb. 27\, 6-7pm\, learn life-saving information during Wenatchee River Institute’s (WRI) Science on Tap! at Badger Mountain Brewing\, 1 Orondo Ave. in Wenatchee. Matt Primomo\, avalanche specialist for Northwest Avalanche Center (NWAC) will talk about this season’s snowpack\, weather\, and avalanche events\, exploring the correlation between avalanche cycles and atmospheric rivers. \nWhether you backcountry ski\, snowboard\, snowshoe\, snowmobile\, winter camp\, or just like to get out on the snow\, avalanche education and snow science is for you. During this Science on Tap! presentation you will learn from one of the best. Leavenworth resident Primomo is an Avalanche Specialist who has worked with NWAC since 2018 and writes the avalanche advisories for the East Central\, East North\, and Stevens Pass zones. \nAbout Pacific Northwest snow\, Primomo said\, “The weather patterns and how they interact with the mountains can be super complex. The mountains themselves take up such a large amount of area and it’s so diverse. It’s been wild to track and think about snowpack in a spatial sense from the Pacific Crest all the way to the Columbia River.” From the NWAC website. \nThis is a free event with $1 raffle tickets for WRI and Badger Mountain Brewing prizes to raise funds for WRI youth and adult programs. Feeling lucky? Come out on Feb. 27 and buy a handful of raffle tickets\, enjoy refreshing beverages\, and learn how more than mere luck will keep you safer in the backcountry.\nFor more information\, contact Rachel Bishop at (509)548-0181 x5 rbishop@wenatcheeriverinstitute.org \nEvent link and registration here: https://wenatcheeriverinstitute.org/event-calendar.html/event/2020/02/27/science-on-tap-avalanche-cycles-and-atmospheric-rivers-the-winter-of-2019-20-in-the-central-cascades/281940

SUMMARY:Fly Tying Series with W.R.I.
DESCRIPTION:Fly Tying Series with Wenatchee Valley Fly Fishers’ Bruce Merighi and the Wenatchee River Institute \nDo you fly fish or would you like to fly fish? Then you need flies! Learn the basics of fly tying from Wenatchee Valley Fly Fishers’ Bruce Merighi. This is a five-Tuesday series Feb. 11 – Mar. 10\, 6-8PM in Wenatchee River Institute’s Red Barn\, 347 Division St. in Leavenworth. There is nothing like catching a fish with a fly you hand tied. \nEnjoy small-group instruction by Merighi and the Wenatchee Valley Fly Fishers\, assisted by the Trout Unlimited Icicle Valley Chapter. Learn about fly-fishing equipment\, philosophy and the basic entomological connections between aquatic food sources and local fish -with minimal Latin. Each student will come away with an understanding of beginning fly tying techniques\, including the use of tools and various fly tying materials enabling the independent tying of diverse patterns. \n“Tying a fly is more than bringing together materials to create a lure. It’s realizing you must learn so much more in order to fish correctly with a fly. Its not just randomly trolling\, casting with large lures\, or chucking a glob of fish food out from shore in hopes a fish might randomly swim by and take the bait. It’s first understanding why a fish would take your offering and then bringing together those materials to create an appealing fly\,” tells Merighi. \nMerighi received his first fly-fishing outfit for his 8th birthday. After losing most of the flies from the kit amongst tree branches and between deep rocks\, he bought a few hooks\, gathered a few strands of Christmas tinsel and together with dust bunnies collected from under his bed\, he tied his first flies. From then on\, Merighi was hooked! \nFind out more about observing the natural habitat of the fish species you are perusing to determine the best appearance and action of your entomological creation. You will then be able to experience the satisfaction of catching fish with your own hand tied flies. \nAll materials and tools are provided. Students will leave with 6-8 flies to begin new fly-fishing adventures. Class size is limited to 12\, is designed for ages 15 and up with skill levels from beginner to Intermediate. Please contact Rachel Bishop with questions\, rbishop@wenatcheeriverinstitute.org or 509-548-0181 x5. \nSeries cost is $60 for WRI-members and $70 for non-members\, including all five evenings with materials and tools provided. \nEvent link: https://wenatcheeriverinstitute.org/event-calendar.html/event/2020/02/11/fly-tying-series/274359\nAdditional Links: http://wenatcheevalleyflyfishers.com/ and https://iciclevalley.tu.org/

SUMMARY:Forest Health-What's Eating the Trees?
DESCRIPTION:Wenatchee River Institute Red Barn event\, Forest Health – what’s eating the trees \nWhat does the term forest health really mean? Are insect damage and tree death part of a healthy forest? Find answers to these questions and learn about the amazing ways insects and fungi interact with host trees\, as well as forest tree responses and adaptations\, in Wenatchee River Institute’s (WRI) Red Barn\, 347 Division St.\, on Thu. Mar. 12\, 7-8:30PM. \nConnie Mehmel\, USDA Forest Service Entomologist and Silviculturist (foresters specially trained to care for and cultivate forest trees) will talk about how wildfires and insects can benefit forests and that overstocking and changes in species composition are primary factors contributing to poor forest health in eastern WA. During the presentation\, Mehmel will also explain why increased thinning and managed fire are the most useful tools for improving overall forest health. \n“Large portions of our eastern Washington forests are currently considered in an unhealthy state. An analysis by the Nature Conservancy and the USDA Forest Service identified 2.7 million acres of forest in Central and Eastern Washington that require either natural disturbance or active management to change forest structures to make them more resilient to damaging insects\, pathogens and wildfire\,” said Mehmel. \nA simple love of forests and wildlands sparked Mehmel’s interest in natural resources\, and she enthusiastically pursued her career from there. “The most interesting project I worked on was using pheromones to affect the behavior of bark beetles. I loved the opportunity to work with chemical entomologists\,” reminisced Mehmel. \nThis Red Barn event is in partnership with the Wenatchee Valley Chapter of the WA Native Plant Society. Doors open at 6:30PM for community social\, with beer and wine available for purchase. While this is a free event\, donations are gratefully accepted to benefit WRI youth and adult programs.

SUMMARY:Up Close & Personal with Bears & Cougars
DESCRIPTION:Wenatchee River Institute Red Barn event\, Up Close and Personal with Bears and Cougars \nOver the past twenty years\, long-term focused research in WA State has resulted in a more complete understanding of the complex world of the area’s carnivore ecology and management. On Wed. Mar. 18\, 7-8:30PM in Wenatchee River Institute’s (WRI) Red Barn\, Rich Beausoleil\, Bear & Cougar Specialist and Karelian Bear Dog Program lead for the Washington Dept. of Fish and Wildlife\, will share research specifics. \nDuring the presentation\, Beausoleil will talk about how bears and cougars live\, interact with each other\, and orient themselves on the landscape. He will discuss carnivore-human interactions and offer needed perspective into what frequently appears to be sea of conflicting interpretations. \n“These animals are often feared and misunderstood. It is my hope to provide scientific facts during the presentation so those attending can understand and appreciate Washington’s apex carnivores\,” said Beausoleil\, who has worked with WA carnivores for more than 22 years. \nDuring 2019 in Leavenworth\, there were significant wildlife-human interactions. Beausoleil wants to stress\, “These interactions were entirely preventable\, but it takes a community-wide commitment to address the root cause of the problem.” This Red Barn event will provide participants with the necessary education and preventative solutions that work to address these causes –and they may not be what you would expect! \nDoors open at 6:30pm for community social with local beer and wine available for purchase. The event is free with donations are gratefully accepted to benefit WRI youth and adult programs.

SUMMARY:Winter Twig Identification
DESCRIPTION:Winter Shrub and Twig Identification classes with Jennifer Hadersberger and Wenatchee River Institute \nIf you have ever wondered how to identify trees and shrubs during the winter\, join Wenatchee River Institute and local botanist Jennifer Hadersberger to explore Barn Beach Reserve and Blackbird Island learning about plant identification along the way. \nFri.\, Mar. 13\, 9-11am\, learn to tell plant species apart from one another without the presence of leaves. “[Trees and shrubs] are living through the winter because of seasonal adaptations. They look dead\, but they are alive\,” explains Hadersberger. \nDuring this class\, you will also discover species distribution\, which tells a big part of the landscape’s story. If you are visiting an area for the first time during the winter months\, you will then be able to understand more about the local flora. \nHadersberger is a Professional Wetland Scientist with and MS in Botany from Oregon State University\, and has over 20 years’ experience in natural resources management. Since 2000\, she has been teaching botany and biology classes for various community colleges and through Portland State University’s Environmental Professional Program.\nPlease register soon as class size is limited to 15. Cost is $30 for WRI-members and $35 for non-members. Coffee and tea are provided\, please bring a snack and dress for colder temperatures. Bringing a notepad and pencil is encouraged. \nOn Fri.\, Mar. 20\, 9am-1pm\, Hadersberger will be offering a Winter Twig Identification professional development class for those in the field of wetland delineation. “Because a lot of work doesn’t stop in the winter and site plans are busily being developed\,” said Hadersberger. \nIf you have any questions about either of the two classes\, contact Rachel Bishop\, WRI community education lead\, (509)548-1818 x5\, or rbishop@wenatcheeriverinstitute.org\nEvent link Winter Shrub Identification: https://wenatcheeriverinstitute.org/event-calendar.html/event/2020/03/13/winter-shrub-identification/274426\nEvent Link Winter Twig Identification professional development class: https://wenatcheeriverinstitute.org/event-calendar.html/event/2020/03/20/winter-twig-identification-professional-development-class/274431
