SUMMARY:Presentation: Amazon Community Center Events: Gardening With Native Plants
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, March 7\, 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm\nPresentation: Amazon Community Center Events: Gardening With Native Plants\nPresenters: NPSO Emerald Chapter Board members\nLocation: Amazon Community Center\, Main Hall\, 2700 Hilyard St\, Eugene \nHave you wondered whether gardening with native plants is for you? This class is meant to be an introduction to the benefits of gardening with native plants\, from planning your garden to selecting your plants. We will have a hands-on time where you can see what many commonly used natives look like this time of year as well as when they’re in full bloom. You’ll come away with some ideas about what plants you might want to incorporate in your home and where to find them.\nFor more information and to sign up\, see “Special Interest” at: https://rec.eugene-or.gov/OR/city-of-eugene-or/catalog

SUMMARY:Title: Bees as Botanists: The Specialist Bees of Western Oregon
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, March 16\, 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm\nTitle: Bees as Botanists: The Specialist Bees of Western Oregon\nPresenter: August Jackson\, Oregon Bee Atlas\, Oregon State University\nLocation: Amazon Community Center\, 2700 Hilyard St\, Eugene \nThe Oregon Bee Atlas is currently leading the world in research on bee-plant interactions. Most native bee species need native plants to survive\, but the diet breadth in bee species is wildly variable and much remains to be learned. From Sedum bees to Penstemon bees and Lomatium bees\, a rich diversity of bee species found in western Oregon have specialized relationships with native plants and can be extremely picky about which pollen they will feed their young. In this vividly illustrated talk\, we will explore the floral relationships of dozens of specialist bees\, meet some bees (and plants?) new to science\, and discuss ways to support bees in the home garden or community restoration effort. \nAugust works with the Oregon Bee Atlas at Oregon State University coordinating a program for the inventory and monitoring of bees on National Wildlife Refuges in the Pacific Northwest. He is an expert in the identification of bees in Western North America and is responsible for identifying tens of thousands of bees from across the region annually. August is most interested in the relationship between bees and plants\, and especially specialized relationships which have coevolved over thousands\, if not millions of years. Prior to his work at Oregon State University\, August worked for over a decade at Mount Pisgah Arboretum in Eugene and remains interested in all facets of the natural history of the region\, but particularly flowering plants!
