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:Tell El Sendero Your Backcountry Thoughts
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by El Sendero Backcountry Ski & Snowshoe Club \nLocation: Wenatchee Valley Museum \nDate: Thursday March 5th 5:30-7:30pm \n  \nHello fellow backcountry user! \nYou’ve probably heard of the proposed development pertaining to the Mission Ridge Ski Area. It is a big project with a new road traversing into a village area\, 873 homes and condo units\, a 50 room hotel\, and new lifts giving easier access to some of the surrounding backcountry. This private development will impact how we all access and experience our public lands in the Greater Mission Ridge Backcountry which includes Mission Peak\, Stemilt Basin\, Lake Clara\, and Squilchuck Park environs. \nHere is a link to the proposed phasing map which will give you an idea of the scale of the project. \nEl Sendero Backcountry Ski and Snowshoe Club advocates for quiet wintertime backcountry users\, but has not yet taken a position on the proposed development. We are now wanting to talk to backcountry enthusiasts so that we can understand and appropriately advocate for your values\, desires and concerns. \nWhether you hike\, bike\, snowshoe\, backcountry ski\, cross-country ski or snowboard in the greater Mission Ridge backcountry\, we want to hear from you. \nPlease join us for a moderated community conversation at the Wenatchee Valley Museum on Thursday\, March 5 (5:30 to 7:30 pm). \n• Learn about the proposed changes at the Squilchuck headwaters\n• Share your thoughts on how the proposal might affect your backcountry experience\n• Hear what others are thinking\n• Help El Sendero develop a public position on the proposal

SUMMARY:Landscapes & Landforms of the Okanogan Highlands
DESCRIPTION:Where: Community Cultural Center of Tonasket\, 411 S. Western Ave\nWhen: Friday\, March 6\, 2020\n• 5:15 – Dinner benefitting the CCC\n• 6:30 – Presentation by Karl Lillquist\, free to the public\nCost: Presentation is free; dinner is $10 per plate; desserts by donation (benefit for the CCC) \nLandscapes and Landforms of the Okanogan Highlands\, with Karl Lillquist \nEvent Description: Okanogan Highlands Alliance (OHA) and the Okanogan Land Trust (OLT) are excited to announce a three-part series of educational events focused on geology. OHA is hosting the first event on Friday\, March 6th\, when Dr. Karl Lillquist returns to Tonasket. “This landscape has been shaped by various tectonic\, weathering\, landslide\, stream\, glacier\, and wind-related processes\,” Lillquist says. “Most important of these was glaciation by the Okanogan Lobe of the Cordilleran Icesheet. With a focus on glaciation\, we will explore the origins and evolution of landscapes and landforms in the Okanogan Highlands.” Karl’s special interest in geomorphology\, a field focusing on landforms and how they originated\, has intriguing application to the Okanogan Highlands. We hope that you will join us in looking at the Highlands landscape through geologic time — you might never look at our highland hills and valleys the same way again! \nMarch 6\, Event Schedule:\n5:15: Dinner Benefitting the CCC ($10/plate)\n6:30: Presentation\, Free to the Public\, Donations Welcome \nSecond Event: Ice Age Floodscapes of the PNW with Bruce Bjornstad on Wednesday\, March 18 at the PUD No. 1 of Okanogan County \nThird Event: Geology Tour of the Okanogan Highlands on Saturday\, July 18 \nMore Information:\n• Clock hours are available for educators. Please be sure to sign in the day of the event.\n• Donations are always welcome!\n• Questions?
