Cross Continent Ecosystem Comparisons (Online)
2021-10-20 16:30 - 18:00
Hosted by North Cascades Institute
Class Tuition: $15
Virtual programming has really enabled us to expand our sense of place. People are tuning in from further afield, and our persectives on our home region are informed by considering other distant ecosystems. Thanks to a fellow environmental educator on the other side of our continent, we have an opportunity to consider an ecosystem on the Atlantic coast with some intriguing similarities!
Join Dr. Sarah Bois, Director of Research and Education at the Linda Loring Nature Foundation based on Nantucket Island, Massachusetts for a discussion about the similarities and differences in habitats, ecology, and land use between our two coasts.
We’ll explore our cross-continent similarities starting with the geologic history that defines both regions and on through current land ownership and the challenges each region faces. Sarah will use her experiences in conservation on both coasts to look at invasive species, coastal grassland management and rare species conservation comparing and contrasting the two regions.
We’ll highlight what we can learn from each other both in terms of successes and areas in need of improvement. We hope for open discussion and participation from both coasts.

Beta Hatch-Insect Entrepreneurs
2021-10-28 19:00 - 20:30
Red Barn Event: Beta Hatch – Insect Entrepreneurs
Thursday, October 28th 7:00PM-8:30PM @ WRI Red Barn
Join us to learn about our valley’s very own mealworm hatchery, combating our problem of food production and waste! By 2050, the world will need to feed 10 billion people. Today, 30% of crops feed meat, meaning feed production competes with food production. Beta Hatch is industrializing insect agriculture here in the Wenatchee Valley to solve these problems. Mealworms, we like to say, are a super bug, digesting waste that ordinarily has low or no value. Our insect-protein production platform converts mealworms and their waste into high-value proteins, oils, and nutrients for agriculture. The opening of our flagship facility in Cashmere, WA marks the establishment of North America’s largest mealworm hatchery, producing insect protein and organic insect manure (frass).

Diversity in the Outdoors: A Conversation with Chevon Powell (Online)
2021-11-03 17:30 - 19:00
Hosted by the North Cascades Institute
Class Tuition: $15
The outdoor scene presents an opportunity for all people to connect with our shared earthly home. However, the conservation and recreation fields in the U.S. have been disproportionately shaped by white, able-bodied figures and the trail has not been a welcoming place for diverse people.
While Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) have always been out on the trail despite this history, we’re now seeing a welcome increase in participation, as well as overlapping conversations about social justice and outdoor recreation. More people of diverse identities are getting out, having fun, and adding to the richness of outdoor culture. Discussions about diversity in the outdoors help to grow a diverse and just outdoor scene.
Please join us in welcoming Chevon Powell to our virtual platform. Chevon is the founder of Golden Bricks Events (GBE) and Refuge Outdoor Festival—an annual outdoor recreation camping experience geared toward Black, Indigenous, People of Color. She is an experienced event professional and community advocate for outdoor access and environmental justice.
Chevon will be sharing with us her story of exploring natural and social landscapes, as well as facilitating a reflective conversation in small groups.
This online program offers an opportunity to participate in a thought-provoking and inspiring conversation around building diversity in the outdoors.

Sagebrush Planting in the Wenatchee Foothills
2021-11-10 12:00 - 15:00
Date: Wed, 11/10/2021

Time: 12 PM – 3 PM

Location:
End of Maiden Lane, access to Balsamroot Trail south TH

Chelan-Douglas Land Trust invites you to plant over 300 native big sagebrush seedlings in the Wenatchee Foothills, within the footprint of both the 2012 and 2015 wildfires. The seeds were collected nearby in 2020 by CDLT volunteers. Derby Canyon Natives in Peshastin grew the seedlings. The planting area is important mule deer wintering habitat. Our efforts to return woody sagebrush to the habitat will meet mule deer habitat by providing food and cover. The work will be moderately strenuous and will involve walking (carrying plants & tools) about 1/2-mile to access the off-trail hillside site. To plant, we’ll be on a slope and will be bending and crouching. CDLT volunteers will be joined a group of high-school aged youth.
Everyone’s safety is our top priority at these events. Please read CDLT’s COVID Safety Protocol and do not attend the event if you are feeling unwell. Remember to bring a face mask to wear when you’re around other people, work gloves, hand sanitizer, water, snacks, layers of clothing appropriate for the task & weather on site, close-toed shoes. The Land Trust will bring long-tongued “tile spade” shovels for volunteers to use.
Please RSVP with the form so we can get an accurate headcount and provide you with details for the work party as the date approaches.
*All work parties are weather and conditions dependent. Canceled work parties will be rescheduled if possible.

National Park Free Admission Day for Veterans Day
2021-11-11
Free Admission Day to the National Parks in honor of Veterans Day
Many national parks have direct connections to the American military—there are dozens of battlefields, military parks, and historic sites that commemorate and honor the service of American veterans. In addition, every national park is part of our collective identity that defines who we are and where we came from as a nation. They are tactile reminders of the values, the ideals, and the freedoms that our veterans protect.
The majestic landscapes, natural wonders, and patriotic icons that we cherish as a society have also inspired military members through the years. The Grand Canyon, Mount Rushmore, the USS Arizona Memorial, and the Statue of Liberty are just a few of the national parks that have served as reminders of home to those stationed abroad. On Veterans Day, or any day, honor those who have served and sacrificed for our country with a visit to a national park.
The National Park Service invites all visitors to remember our veterans by visiting any National Park Service site for free on Veterans Day (November 11). Find tips to recreate responsibly while you visit!

Sagebrush Seed Collection near Spiva Butte
2021-11-13 10:00 - 14:00
Date: Sat, 11/13/2021
Time: 10:00 am – 2:00 pm
Location: Spiva Butte
Chelan-Douglas Land Trust and Conservation Northwest invite you to join a Saturday, Nov. 13, 2021, work party to help collect big sagebrush seeds. We welcome families and volunteers of all ages and abilities, who will enjoy spending a day in the sagebrush grasslands of rural NE Douglas County where it is usually windy and cold. The location is 1-1/2 hour drive from Wenatchee, 2-1/2 hours from Spokane, and 1-1/2 hour drive from Winthrop. We will meet at 10am (detailed location directions will be provided) and conclude at 2pm.
Our goal is to collect seedheads to use to replant big sagebrush on CDLT’s Spiva Butte Nature Preserve where the 2020 Pearl Hill Wildfire killed all sagebrush. Greater Sagegrouse, Sage Thrashers, and many other native wildlife depend upon sagebrush for food and habitat. Our goal is to quickly re-seed this shrub on the 1300-acre preserve. Part of the seeds will be used in nurseries to grow seedlings. Most will be used in late fall, distributed by a field crew who will fling seedheads within the preserve to simulate natural wind-blown dispersal. CDLT conducted a pilot flinging project in 2020 and the positive results show the effectiveness of this novel method.
Parking is along a well-maintained county gravel road. Volunteers will walk cross country on uneven flat ground for up to 1-mile. Volunteers will be within sight of parked vehicles, so extra clothes, food, and water can be left in vehicles for easy access. Volunteers will use hand clippers or scissors to cut seedheads and place them into a lightweight bag, tucked into a belt.
Everyone’s safety is our top priority at these events. Please read CDLT’s COVID Safety Protocol and do not attend the event if you are feeling unwell. Remember to bring a face mask to wear when you’re around other people, work gloves, hand sanitizer, water, snacks, layers of clothing appropriate for the task & weather on site, close-toed shoes. We’ll supply some sweet treats and raffle off 4 gas cards.
Please RSVP by filling out the form so we can provide you with details for the work party as the date approaches.
*All work parties are weather and conditions dependent. Canceled work parties will be rescheduled if possible.
If you have questions, please contact Susan Ballinger (susan@cdlandtrust.org) or Keith Watson (keith@conservationnw.org).

Orca-Shared Waters, Shared Home
2021-11-16 19:00 - 20:30
Red Barn Event: Orca – Shared Waters, Shared Home
Tuesday, November 16th 7:00PM-8:30PM @ WRI Red Barn
In Orca: Shared Waters, Shared Home journalist Lynda V. Mapes explores the natural history of the orca and the unique challenges for survival of the Southern Resident group that frequents Puget Sound. These whales are among the most urban in the world, a focus of researchers, tourists, and politicians alike. Once referred to as “blackfish” and still known as “killer whales,” orcas were for generations regarded as vermin to be avoided or exterminated, then later were captured live for aquariums all over the world. With greater exposure, scientists realized how intelligent the mammal is and are learning about their matriarchal family groups, vocalizations, behavior, and different subspecies. Today only 74 Southern Resident whales are left, and they are threatened by habitat degradation, lack of chinook salmon (their primary food source), relentless growth, and climate change. Can we reverse the trend?
