SUMMARY:Presentation: The Master Melittologist Program's Oregon Bee Atlas: A Statewide Initiative to Document the Floral Relations of Oregon's Native Bee Fauna Using Community Scientists.
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, April 19\, 7:00 pm *Note this is Friday\, not a Monday meeting.\nPresentation: The Master Melittologist Program’s Oregon Bee Atlas: A Statewide\nInitiative to Document the Floral Relations of Oregon’s Native Bee Fauna Using Community Scientists.\nSpeaker: Lincoln Best\, Faculty Research Assistant\, Oregon State University\nLocation: In Person\, 221 Allen Hall\, University of Oregon campus. Venue may change\, so check https://eugenenaturalhistorysociety.org/ to stay informed. \nLincoln will introduce the productive framework for education through the online Master Melittologist Program and data production for the Oregon Bee Atlas. These complementary programs have assessed native bee visitors to more than 1\,500 plant taxa in the state and have detected several hundred species of bees including new state records and new species. Using a combination of traditional morphological examination and DNA-barcoding to identify species continues to expand our knowledge of the state bee fauna. \nLincoln Best is the taxonomist for the Oregon Bee Atlas and collaborates on research with many other groups in the Pacific Northwest and internationally. He is most interested in faunistics and the floral relations of these amazing animals.

SUMMARY:Field Trip: Museum of Natural and Cultural History Native Plant Garden
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, April 14\, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm\nField Trip: Museum of Natural and Cultural History Native Plant Garden\nLeader: Margaret Conover \nThe property surrounding this museum\, on the University of Oregon campus\, bears an excellent native plant garden that is little known to the community. In partnership with the museum\, Emerald Chapter members will be leading this short walk in and around the museum’s Glenn Starlin Native Plant Courtyard. With over forty species\, the courtyard offers a rich array of plant life that has provided nutrition and material for tools\, shelter\, and more for millennia. This is the first of a monthly series of walks at this location. \nLimited free parking is in a designated lot located just west of the mammoths on East 15th Avenue\, and metered parking is available on the street. The address is 1680 East 15th Avenue on the University of Oregon campus in Eugene. Sign-up is not needed\, and the tour is free to NPSO members.

SUMMARY:Field Trip: Brice Creek Trail
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, April 13\, 9:00 am – 3:00 pm\nField Trip: Brice Creek Trail\nLeader: Bruce Waugh \nJoin State Board member Bruce Waugh hiking in an old growth forest on a streamside trail through a scenic\, rocky canyon. We will primarily see forest flora with the occasional rocky bald. It is a three-mile round-trip on an easy to moderate trail. Due to the narrowness of the trail and steep drop offs\, this hike is not suitable for those with vertigo or balance issues. \nIf participants are interested in seeing the native plant gardening and restoration Bruce has been doing on his oak woodland property outside of Cottage Grove for the past eight years\, he is willing to show folks around after the walk. \nMeet at South Eugene High School at 19th and Patterson Street in Eugene at 9:00 am or at Row River Nature Park in Cottage Grove at 9:30 am. Bring lunch\, water\, boots\, rain gear\, and hiking poles if desired. Sign up here

SUMMARY:Field Trip: Ramble
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, March 30\, 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm\nField Trip: Ramble\nLocation: Buford Park\, East Entrance \nRambles are casual walks where participants identify and share knowledge of plants they encounter as a group. All levels of experience are welcome. All we ask is that you are interested in plants! We’ll walk along a gravel access road and established trails. The approximate round- trip distance will be three miles. There should be an abundance of early wildflowers. Since parking at the East Trailhead is limited\, we’ll meet up two miles away at the Pisgah Public Market in Pleasant Hill and carpool from there. From southbound I-5\, take exit 188 for OR58 East\, “Oakridge-Klamath Falls\,” and continue on OR58 for just under four miles. The Pisgah Public Market is on the left as you enter Pleasant Hill. Please call Karl Anderson at 505-257-0554 if you have questions. Sign up here.

SUMMARY:Presentation: Updates on holoparasitic Orobanchaceae in Oregon
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, February 19\, 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm \nSpeakers: Dr. Alison Colwell\, Curator\, Center for Plant Diversity\, University of\nCalifornia\, Davis and Dr. Adam Schneider\, University of Wisconsin\, LaCrosse\nLocation: via Zoom: Click here to enter \nAlison Colwell and Adam Schneider have been studying the non-photosynthetic members of the parasitic plant family Orobanchaceae (primarily Aphyllon\, Conopholis and Phelipanche) in North America for many years. Hard to find\, largely subterranean and often rare\, these plants take extreme patience to study. Among the changes Alison and Adam have made that affect the Oregon flora are a reversion of North American native Orobanche to the genus Aphyllon (Adam) and description of new species and revision of existing species (Alison and Adam). This team will provide updates on these projects that affect the Oregon flora.

SUMMARY:Rescheduled Presentation: Ancient Grasslands: The Past\, Present and Future of Willamette Valley Prairie and Savanna
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, January 15\, 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm \nPresenter: Bart Johnson\, Professor Emeritus from the University of Oregon\nLocation: In person\, Amazon Community Center\, Main Hall\, 2700 Hilyard St\, Eugene\, 97405 \nOak-pine savanna and prairie have persisted in the Willamette Valley and other parts of the lowland Pacific Northwest for thousands of years. These ecosystems appear wellsuited to projected future climate because of their resilience to heat\, drought\, and fire. With rapidly increasing risk to forests and people from wildfire\, sustaining and restoring vegetation mosaics that include oak-pine savanna could be a key to both regional biodiversity conservation and reducing the risk of catastrophic fires.
