Beyond Borders: Transboundary Conservation
2023-10-25 18:00 - 19:30 (America/Los_Angeles)
Beyond Borders: Transboundary Conservation in an Interconnected World (online)
This event is hosted by the North Cascades Institute
Class Tuition: $10
Nature knows no borders. Despite this, the political boundaries of the modern world have a profound influence on our landscape.
The North Cascades Mountains retain large tracts of wild land that support a great diversity of species, but these mountains are split by the 49th parallel, the international border between Canada and the United States. While this line has great meaning and importance in the lives of Homo sapiens, it is largely irrelevant to the other species that make these mountains their home – at least as far as they are aware.
During this session, we will explore the transboundary nature of the North Cascades, how borders can be both meaningless and very consequential, and why healthy ecosystems need to function across these boundaries. Using examples from wolverines to birds to fish and amphibians, we’ll discuss the importance and challenges of cross-border conservation both locally and globally, particularly in light of our changing climate.
It’s time to think beyond borders!
If you can’t make the specific date or time of a class you want to take, you can still register and we will send you a link to view the program on your own time! All registrants will have access to the class recording for a limited time to re-watch too.

Land of Giants (2023)
“If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” -Issac Newton
The story of man vs. mountain is one that has captured our imaginations for centuries. But what if MSP flipped the script? What if, instead of focusing on the human element, we took a closer look at the mountains themselves?

That’s the premise of The Land of Giants, a new ski film that explores the most iconic mountains on Earth. From the Fjords of Norway to the spines of Alaska, we will get to know and understand the canvas that creates the most mind-melting moments in skiing. But most importantly, we’ll come to appreciate their sheer beauty and power. Captured with revolutionary cinematography combined with genre bending music, The Land of Giants is not to be missed.

The Land of Giants features the best skiers in the world, skiing unbelievable conditions and riding to the very edge and beyond. It’s a celebration of the natural world, and a reminder of the power of the human spirit. It’s a film that will leave you awestruck, inspired, and humbled.

Join us on this journey into The Land of Giants.
Featuring: Mark Abma, Sammy Carlson, Logan Pehota, Tonje Kvivik, Nikolai Schirmer, Caite Zeliff, McKenna Peterson, John Collinson, Colby Stevenson, Janelle Yip, Sam Kuch, Ari Tricomi, Karl Fostvedt, Coline Ballet-Baz, Craig Murray, Emily Childs, Dennis Ranalter, Xander Guldman, Hedvig Wessel, Lucy Sackbauer, Stinius Skjøtskift, Gen Sasaki, Sam Cohen, and Marcus Goguen.

More than 8 miles of riverfront and 651 acres of riparian habitat are permanently preserved by the Land Trust along the Entiat River Watershed. These protection efforts provide respite for spawning fish, habitat for wildlife, and allows the river to follow its natural meandering course. During this event you will visit some of these protected areas as we look for signs of wildlife, see recently completed beaver dam analog restoration, and observe and learn about the spawning salmon. All ages are welcome and there is no cost to attend the event. Stormy Creek Preserve is 40 minutes from Wenatchee in Entiat.

Glaciated Landscape
2023-10-10 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
The Wenatchee Valley Erratics Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute’s next program will be on Tuesday, October 10 at 7:00 PM at the Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center, 127 South Mission St., Wenatchee.

Dr. Ralph Dawes, Professor of Earth Science, Wenatchee Valley College, will discuss the “Glaciated landscape that formed beneath the Okanogan Lobe of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet” in north central Washington. This area, including Douglas County north of Waterville and all of Okanogan County, was studied early in the last century by well-known geologists J Harlan Bretz, Richard Foster Flint, and Aaron C. Waters. How the ice sheet shaped the landscape underneath it was a source of controversy back then, and remains a subject of scientific debate today.

Dr. Dawes takes a four-part approach addressing the origin of the Okanogan landscape:

Read published geologic studies of the Okanogan Lobe and Cordilleran Ice Sheet;

learn latest theories of how ice sheets create landforms;

use current online map data; and

ground-truth to examine the evidence itself.

You can attend in-person at the Museum, or via Zoom link https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84520197937
