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:Tech for Trade: New Tools & Rules for Water Use Efficiency in Ag and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:All events are open to the public\, and run from 4 to 5 p.m. and will be held at the WSU Tree Fruit Research & Extension Center on Wednesdays from 4-5 P.M. (1100 N. Western Ave.\, Wenatchee). \n3/11/2020 Dr. Claudio O. Stockle WSU Professor and Department Chair\, Biological Systems Engineering\, WSU\n“Technology for trade: new tools and new rules for water use efficiency in agriculture and beyond”\nDr. Claudio Stöckle’s research is in the Land\, Air\, Water Resources and Environmental Engineering (LAWREE) research emphasis area. His focus is on the development and application of analytical tools to study\, understand and manage the interaction between soil\, weather\, and crops. He is particularly interested in modeling the environmental impact of agricultural production at the field and water shed levels and in further enhancement and support of the Agricultural Crop Systems Modeling Software (CROPSYST) he developed.

SUMMARY:Forest Health-What's Eating the Trees?
DESCRIPTION:Wenatchee River Institute Red Barn event\, Forest Health – what’s eating the trees \nWhat does the term forest health really mean? Are insect damage and tree death part of a healthy forest? Find answers to these questions and learn about the amazing ways insects and fungi interact with host trees\, as well as forest tree responses and adaptations\, in Wenatchee River Institute’s (WRI) Red Barn\, 347 Division St.\, on Thu. Mar. 12\, 7-8:30PM. \nConnie Mehmel\, USDA Forest Service Entomologist and Silviculturist (foresters specially trained to care for and cultivate forest trees) will talk about how wildfires and insects can benefit forests and that overstocking and changes in species composition are primary factors contributing to poor forest health in eastern WA. During the presentation\, Mehmel will also explain why increased thinning and managed fire are the most useful tools for improving overall forest health. \n“Large portions of our eastern Washington forests are currently considered in an unhealthy state. An analysis by the Nature Conservancy and the USDA Forest Service identified 2.7 million acres of forest in Central and Eastern Washington that require either natural disturbance or active management to change forest structures to make them more resilient to damaging insects\, pathogens and wildfire\,” said Mehmel. \nA simple love of forests and wildlands sparked Mehmel’s interest in natural resources\, and she enthusiastically pursued her career from there. “The most interesting project I worked on was using pheromones to affect the behavior of bark beetles. I loved the opportunity to work with chemical entomologists\,” reminisced Mehmel. \nThis Red Barn event is in partnership with the Wenatchee Valley Chapter of the WA Native Plant Society. Doors open at 6:30PM for community social\, with beer and wine available for purchase. While this is a free event\, donations are gratefully accepted to benefit WRI youth and adult programs. For more information\, contact Rebecca Ryan at (509)548-0181 x2 or rryan@wenatcheeriverinstitute.org \nEvent link: https://wenatcheeriverinstitute.org/event-calendar.html/event/2020/03/12/red-barn-event-forest-health-what-s-eating-the-trees/277308

SUMMARY:Winter Shrub Identification Class
DESCRIPTION:Winter Shrub and Twig Identification classes with Jennifer Hadersberger and Wenatchee River Institute \nIf you have ever wondered how to identify trees and shrubs during the winter\, join Wenatchee River Institute and local botanist Jennifer Hadersberger to explore Barn Beach Reserve and Blackbird Island learning about plant identification along the way. \nFri.\, Mar. 13\, 9-11am\, learn to tell plant species apart from one another without the presence of leaves. “[Trees and shrubs] are living through the winter because of seasonal adaptations. They look dead\, but they are alive\,” explains Hadersberger. \nDuring this class\, you will also discover species distribution\, which tells a big part of the landscape’s story. If you are visiting an area for the first time during the winter months\, you will then be able to understand more about the local flora. \nHadersberger is a Professional Wetland Scientist with and MS in Botany from Oregon State University\, and has over 20 years’ experience in natural resources management. Since 2000\, she has been teaching botany and biology classes for various community colleges and through Portland State University’s Environmental Professional Program.\nPlease register soon as class size is limited to 15. Cost is $30 for WRI-members and $35 for non-members. Coffee and tea are provided\, please bring a snack and dress for colder temperatures. Bringing a notepad and pencil is encouraged. \nOn Fri.\, Mar. 20\, 9am-1pm\, Hadersberger will be offering a Winter Twig Identification professional development class for those in the field of wetland delineation. “Because a lot of work doesn’t stop in the winter and site plans are busily being developed\,” said Hadersberger. \nIf you have any questions about either of the two classes\, contact Rachel Bishop\, WRI community education lead\, (509)548-1818 x5\, or rbishop@wenatcheeriverinstitute.org\nEvent link Winter Shrub Identification: https://wenatcheeriverinstitute.org/event-calendar.html/event/2020/03/13/winter-shrub-identification/274426\nEvent Link Winter Twig Identification professional development class: https://wenatcheeriverinstitute.org/event-calendar.html/event/2020/03/20/winter-twig-identification-professional-development-class/274431
