SUMMARY:Meeting/Presentation: In person Chapter Business Meeting and Elections followed by Presentation from Stephanie McKnight\, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, May 11\, 10:00 am – 12:00 pm \nLeader: Charmane Mitchell \nLocation: Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints\, 2000 Jackson Street\, Port Orford \nMs. McKnight will speak about the Coastal Species Conservation Collaborative\, a workgroup of state and federal agencies\, non-governmental organizations (including NPSO’s Rare and Endangered Committee)\, and researchers to focus on conservation of rare coastal species in northern CA and southern OR. The group has identified thirty-eight species of conservation need. Of the thirty-eight species\, twenty-seven are plants. Many of these plants have not been surveyed in decades\, and we therefore have very little information on the status of these species\, the status of populations\, what conservation issues they face\, and other challenges. She will be leading efforts to survey for many of these species this field season and would love to find some folks (no botany experience needed) to help conduct surveys and learn about coastal species conservation. \nA Zoom option is available at:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85621706837?pwd=MG94bUtEOE1kcDJ1bkh6U1l2S2NoZz09\nMeeting ID: 856 2170 6837\nPasscode: 353471

SUMMARY:Field Trip: Lawrence Memorial Grasslands Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, May 11\, 10:00 am – 2:00 pm \nHike Leaders: Tom Wainwright and Cindy Roché\nLocation: The Nature Conservancy Lawrence Memorial Grasslands Preserve\, between Antelope and Shaniko \nJoin us for a trip to Lawrence Memorial Grasslands Preserve (The Nature Conservancy). It is one of the best remaining examples of Columbia Plateau biscuit-scabland prairie\, with mima mounds interspersed with basalt outcrops and ravines. There is a wide variety of bunchgrasses and wildflowers across the mixed habitats. This is an opportunity for those interested in grass identification to practice keying grasses with Cindy. Bring your Field Guide to Grasses of Oregon and Washington and appropriate field tools for identification (hand lens and mm ruler). Those less interested in grasses can explore the diversity of spring wildflowers with Tom. This is a short hike of less than three miles with little elevation gain\, but terrain is uneven and rocky. \nRSVP to hike leader Tom Wainwright at hi************@***il.com with “Lawrence Grasslands” in the subject line. It’s about a two-hour drive from Bend to Lawrence Memorial Grasslands Preserve\, between Antelope and Shaniko\, so Bend participants should plan to leave at 8:00 am. Carpools will be arranged. Limited to twelve participants.

SUMMARY:Field Trip: University of Oregon (UO) Riverfront Plant Phenology Monitoring Plot Demo 
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 16\, 5:45 pm – 6:45 pm  \nLeaders: Jeff Diez\, Katelin Kutella\, and Sarah Erskine\, UO Institute of Ecology and Evolution\, and Gail Baker\, Lane Community College Professor of Biology\nLocation: Riverfront property of UO Campus\, just southwest of the Frohnmayer Bridge along the Ruth Bascom Bike Path \nJoin UO ecologists Sarah Erskine\, Katelin Kutella\, Jeff Diez\, and Lane Community College Professor of Biology Gail Baker to tour a new ecological experiment embedded within public spaces in Eugene. The project is a collaboration between the UO researchers\, Eugene Public Parks\, and community naturalists (like you!?). The overall goal of the project is to better understand how climate affects plant phenology\, species interactions\, and the performance of our native prairie species. Expect to see blooms of Collinsia sp.\, popcorn flower\, and pink Plectritis sp. among others. By sowing mini-restoration experiments and collecting data on phenology\, species interactions\, and species performance\, the study aims to enhance local biodiversity in our public spaces and help inform future restoration efforts. The project is also seeking volunteers to help monitor species at several public parks and is using observations from iNaturalist to understand how our local Eugene plant phenology fits into larger regional patterns. \nSee the map at https://maps.app.goo.gl/DCmwM3RTwbtCHV187 for location and different parking lots with easy access to the Ruth Bascom Bike Path. Note that most parking requires a visitor permit before 6:00 pm. \niNaturalist Project to view the site and current blooms. \nProject website for more details about all the sites and a map. \nCommunity Ecology Research Lab at UO describing who we are and our research.

SUMMARY:Field Trip: Butler Bar
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, May 25\, 10:30 am \nLeader: Olivia Dethlefsen at ol**************@***il.com (Note email Jb***@****et.com as Olivia will be out of town until mid-May)\nLocation: Near Butler Bar Campground\, 22 miles from Port Orford \nThis plant walk will consist of three legs. First\, we will visit a Pacific dogwood located in the campground itself. Next is a short walk on NF-5325\, in the direction of Laird Lake\, to look at some special plants of interest there. After we walk back past our parking area\, there will be an optional third leg\, involving a little bit more hiking. We will explore about one to one to one-half mile up NF-5201\, following Butler Creek\, and then return the same way. This road is closed to vehicles at this time but is fine for walking. There is a patchwork of burn scars and slides\, interspersed with less disturbed parts which remain green. We may see a couple new plants on this leg\, but the main interest here is the chance to compare the disturbance and regrowth to NF-5325. \nThe first two legs will be about one-half mile of walking total\, with little elevation change. The last leg will be two to three miles total\, walking uphill and then downhill on the return. Binoculars are encouraged: one side of the road is a steep\, rocky slope\, so binoculars will give you a little bit more to look at higher on the cliffs. This forest includes tanoak. To prevent spreading sudden oak death\, if you are coming from Brookings\, Gold Beach\, or Port Orford\, it is encouraged to make sure you aren’t tracking in mud or leaf litter from another tanoak forest. \nIf you are interested in attending this plant walk\, please sign up by emailing Julia Bott at Jb***@****et.com as Olivia will be out of town until mid-May. Olivia (ol**************@***il.com) will provide additional details and directions once she returns.
