2023-06-14 08:30 - 11:00 (America/Denver)
Date
Wed, 06/14/2023

Time
8:30 AM – 11:00 AM

Location
Horse Lake Reserve Trailhead

This event is hosted by the Chelan Douglas Land Trust
Want to improve the success of our native grass restoration? Want to fit in an upper body workout before your hike or bike ride? Become a Weed Warrior – Invasive Grass Assassin! We will meet on Wednesdays, weekly, until about mid-June.
Stop by for as long as you want to help CDLT staff hoe weeds in the restoration area near the concrete slab where the barn used to be at Horse Lake Reserve.
We will mainly be removing bulbous bluegrass (we need to get it before it spreads!), which is a shallow, fibrous-rooted, perennial weed that we were not able to control during the weed spray last fall. Our native basin wildrye, Idaho fescue and bluebunch wheatgrass need your help to survive! Please join us, even if it’s just for 15 min. We need all the help we can get.
You do not need to be able to recognize the different grass species – we will flag native plantings as we go and work in sections, so you know what to hoe out and what to leave. We can also teach you some ID characteristics of each of the grasses growing in this area – both the natives and non-native.
To register for this event please email Tiffany Theden, Stewardship Assistant: tiffany@cdlandtrust.org. 310-254-0067
Thank you in advance for being as tenacious in your support of restoration as the weeds are in growing.
Hoes, gloves, and snacks will be provided.
*All work parties are weather and conditions dependent. Canceled work parties will be rescheduled if possible.

Sea levels from the Maximum of the Last Ice Age to the Present Day
2023-06-13 19:00 - 20:30 (America/Denver)
The Wenatchee Valley Erratics, Ice Age Floods Institute’s next program will be on Tuesday, June 13 at 7:00 PM at the Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center, 127 South Mission St., Wenatchee. Erratics’ member Kirk Laird will talk about “Sea levels from the Maximum of the Last Ice Age to the Present Day.” His presentation will focus on information directly available from NOAA’s Tides and Currents Office, and from NOAA’s Office of Satellite Altimetry. The 400 foot change in sea level over the last 22,000 years is directly attributable to the melting of continental and montane glaciers.
With degrees in both Geology and in Oceanography, Kirk has observed earth science issues his entire life. And for the last 25 years, he has paid very close attention to the status of the oceans, in particular.
This is a hybrid meeting. You can attend in-person at the Museum. Or you can participate via a Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84520197937 Please sign in at 7:00 PM, June 13!

Echo Valley remains an excellent race choice for many. The 1-mile kid’s race, camping, and location make it ideal for families, while the 50k is a great course for a first-time 50K runner or someone wanting to set a 50K PR time.
Based in the pristine wine country of Lake Chelan, Echo Valley offers stunning views, runnable single tracks, heaps of sunshine, and a retreat from everyday life!
To top off this weekend away in the mountains, you can camp pre- and post-race. Take this time to reboot, decompress from technology and reflect on the amazing training you have done. Come and share an amazing weekend with us; we promise you will head back to work Monday full of heart and strength of mind! See below for details on accommodations.
This race is also sponsored by Vin du Lac of Chelan, one of the top Wineries in the region, named “Winery of the Year” in 2010.

Comparing and Contrasting Killer Whales in the Salish Sea
2023-05-24 18:00 - 19:30 UTC
This event is hosted by the North Cascades Institute
Orca whales are an iconic species of the Pacific Northwest and in Washington’s inland waters we are lucky to have two distinct populations as our neighbors: the endangered fish-eating Southern Resident killer whales and the thriving mammal-eating Bigg’s killer whales.
n this online presentation, Monika Wieland Shields—co-founder and director of the nonprofit Orca Behavior Institute based on San Juan Island—will cover the natural history of both of these unique populations, introducing you to their unique characteristics and life histories.
In recent decades, as we’ve gained a new appreciation for what are really two different cultures of killer whale, we have also learned about what it takes to live alongside a top predator in the increasingly-urbanized Salish Sea. By comparing and contrasting the trajectories of these two populations, Monika will share what conservation lessons we’ve learned and what it will take to ensure that both populations are able to survive into the future.
Monika is a biologist, wildlife photographer and author of the 2019 book Endangered Orcas: The Story of the Southern Residents. She has a passion for community science and connecting people to whales, working to combine research and storytelling in education and advocacy efforts on behalf of the orcas of the Salish Sea.
If you can’t make this specific date or time, you can still register and we will send you a link to view the class on your own time! All registrants will have access to the class recording for a limited time after the program.
