SUMMARY:Program: Forests During the Time of the Mastodons: Ziegler Reservoir Fossil Site
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, March 14\, 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm \nPresenter: Dean Miller\, Data Analytics Trainer and Quaternary Paleobotanist\nLocation: Zoom \nIn 2010\, during the construction of a reservoir near Snowmass Village\, Colorado\, bones of mammoth and other extinct species and a rich assemblage of vertebrate\, plant\, and other fossils were unearthed. Miller takes us on an insider’s journey into the intriguing and revealing world of paleontological and paleobotanical specimens found at the site\, especially fossil conifers and their cones. His research on conifer macrofossils provides insights into the successional forest stages throughout the Pleistocene in Colorado. The Snowmass discovery offers insights into poorly understood climatic and ecological changes during the late Pleistocene at high elevations. \nRegister for the program here.

SUMMARY:Presentation: Butte Biogeography: Tree Distribution in the Mountains of Central Oregon
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday March 26\, 7:00 pm\nPresentation: Butte Biogeography: Tree Distribution in the Mountains of Central Oregon\nSpeaker: Bob Earle\nLocation: East Bend Library\, 62080 Dean Swift Road \nThe presentation will look at disjunct populations of trees in the mountains (popularly called “buttes”) of Central Oregon. While considerable data has been collected about trees in the Cascade Range\, less is known about tree species on the smaller mountains of\nthe high desert of Central Oregon. Through many field trips\, the speaker attempted to fill in the missing data. He will discuss possible reasons for the locations of the trees and reveal interesting patterns in tree distribution that he discovered. \nBob Earle is a member of our High Desert Chapter who arrived in Bend during the pandemic and spent many days exploring the buttes in Central Oregon. He teaches Geographic Information Systems and Physical Geography (Landforms\, Weather\, Climate\, Biogeography) at Central Oregon Community College.

SUMMARY:Vesper Meadow Tour and Willow Planting Work Party
DESCRIPTION:Date: Saturday\, April 6th\, 10am – 2pm \nSiskiyou Chapter is partnering with Vesper Meadow for a meadow tour and willow-planting work party outside of Ashland. Vesper Meadow has been working for six years to restore a creek channel which was previously eroded due to overgrazing and down-cutting associated with a lack of vegetation. The group will learn restoration techniques like willow staking\, which create live gully-breaks resulting in diverse habitat features. This is a fun and easy way to participate as a land steward in headwater creeks of the Rogue River. All interested in learning more are welcome\, recommended for ages 12 and up. Please note the terrain is generally flat but can be uneven. Participants will be carrying willow stakes 4 – 7 ft in length and using loppers to source willow material. Please bring layers of clothing\, waders\, or waterproof boots\, water\, snacks\, and lunch. \nBe sure to RSVP to hold your spot and receive final details one week in advance of the event. For further information or to sign up\, please visit:\nhttps://www.vespermeadow.org/new-events/2024/4/27/willow-planting-work-party.
