SUMMARY:A FOOLS Journey-with Wenatchee Valley Erratics
DESCRIPTION:Wenatchee Valley Erratics Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute will meet at 7:00 P.M.\, Tuesday\, October 8 at the Wenatchee Valley Museum\, 127 South Mission\, Wenatchee. \n“Searching the Okanogan Drainage for Multiple Ice Age Events and Catastrophic Flooding: A FOOLS Journey” \nGlacial features of the Okanogan area have stories to tell\, and a FOOL has come to tell them. Don Hruska\, retired mining geologist\, is one of four Okanogan residents who formed the FOOLS\, Friends of the Okanogan Lobe. Their quest has been to investigate how geologic forces shaped the Okanogan landscape. \nThe Okanogan drainage is in the heart of the last ice sheet of the 2.6 million-year-old Pleistocene Ice Age. That ice sheet left a covering rich in glacial drift and associated glacial topography in the Okanogan. A number of theories abound about the pre-ice terrain. When was the onset and gradual decay of the ice? Are there indications of older ice events? Is there evidence of flooding episodes\, some perhaps catastrophic\, that may have contributed to the large scabland floods that are familiar to us? \nPlan on joining the field trip next spring\, when we will visit many of these Ice Age features. \nDon’s book\, Okanogan Ice Skating: Three Million Years of Glacial Impact and Basement Rumbling\, will soon be on sale in the IAFI bookstore (https://iafi.org/product-category/book/). \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.

SUMMARY:Pacific Salmon in a Changing Climate
DESCRIPTION:Pacific Salmon in a changing climate \n\nWednesday\, October 9\, 2019\n7:00 pm 9:00 pm\n\n\nRed Barn\, Wenatchee River Institute\, 347 Division Street\, Leavenworth\n\nPacific Salmon have survived volcanic eruptions\, repeated glaciations\, shifting rivers\, the commercial fishing boom of the late 1800s\, an era of dam building\, and many other human-related changes to their environment. They now face additional stressors related to climate change\, including increased stream temperatures and altered river flows. Join local biologist Tracy Bowerman in a discussion about the adaptations salmon have evolved to persist in a highly dynamic environment\, and how salmon have responded to recent climatic shifts. Tracy will present the latest research on how climate change is expected to affect salmon populations and other organisms that rely on salmon for food and nutrients. \nTracy Bowerman lives in Leavenworth and conducts research on salmon and trout throughout the Columbia River Basin. She has a Ph.D. in Aquatic Ecology from Utah State University where she studied bull trout populations and conservation biology. \nPhoto courtesy of Barrie Kovich and Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission. \nDoors open at 6:30pm for community social and no-host refreshments\, presentation begins at 7:00pm. \n\n\n\n\n\nContact Info\nRebecca Ryan\nrryan@wenatcheeriverinstitute.org\n509-548-0181 ext. 2

SUMMARY:Fall Salmon Walks with W.R.I.
DESCRIPTION:Wenatchee River Institute Fall Salmon Walks\, Oct. 4th and 11th\, witness the return of the Pacific Salmon \nThe fall Pacific Salmon migration has begun. Walk along the banks of the Wenatchee River guided by a WRI naturalist to watch these fish jump fully out of the water while in search of spawning grounds. The females move gravel to build a ‘nest’ for their redds (salmon eggs)\, as males battle over fertilization. This is an amazing experience for nearby residents as well as those from out of area\, and not to be missed!\nThe fish now at this river location migrated from the Pacific Ocean to the Columbia River in the summertime. “For someone who has seen salmon spawning many times\, the fascination never diminishes. Considering what they have gone through to get this part of the river –hundreds of miles of river and over dams\, they don’t seem tired at all\, even jumping completely out of the river!” exclaimed Rachel Bishop\, WRI Community Education Lead and Fall Salmon Walk trip guide.\nWRI Fall Salmon Walks\, 10am on Oct. 4 and 11\, 10am-12noon. Meet at Wenatchee River Institute’s River Haus located at 347 Division Street in Leavenworth. Travel by foot along Leavenworth’s waterfront trail system to watch and learn about salmon and their breathtaking journey. Dress for changing weather and pack a snack and water.\nAdmission is free\, donations are appreciated. All ages welcome and binoculars are available for use during the walk. Questions? Contact Rachel Bishop\, rbishop@wenatcheeriverinstitute.org or call (509)548-0181 x5. Visit our website: www.wenatcheeriverinstitute.org
