SUMMARY:Introducing Seven Capes Bird Alliance
DESCRIPTION:Ruth Shelly \nSeven Capes Development Coordinator \nFor 20 years\, Seven Capes Bird Alliance (formerly Audubon Society of Lincoln City) has been committed to the birds\, other wildlife\, and their habitats along the central Oregon coast. Learn about the education\, conservation\, and community science programs of this locally grown organization and its increasing impact. Find out how you can get involved—from participating in bird walks\, volunteering in classroom programs\, observing local Osprey nests\, or advancing our new Marine Conservation Areas at Cape Foulweather and Cape Lookout. Finally\, during this period of wintry weather\, learn about best practices in bird feeding for our local area and what species you might expect to see in your own backyard. \nRuth Shelly has spent a lifetime working in museums and retired as Executive Director of Portland Children’s Museum in 2020. She and her husband Kevin live on Devils Lake. They enjoy getting to know the local birding spots and fellow birders through Seven Capes field trips. Having worked in natural history museums and an aquarium\, Ruth is committed to lifelong learning in science and conservation. She is an avid bird photographer and\, when not working on Seven Capes projects\, volunteers for Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport and Brighter Horizons therapeutic riding center in Siletz.

SUMMARY:Our forest of fire and rain: an illustrated exploration into an intemperate rainforest
DESCRIPTION:Peg Herring\nPeg is an emerita professor of science communication at Oregon State University. Her work focuses on the public understanding of science\, particularly the science behind our public lands and waters. For 20 years\, Herring edited OSU’s research magazine\, Oregon’s Progress. She has published seven books\, including the award-winning Ellie and Ricky series exploring Oregon’s ecosystems. Her newest book\, Born of Fire and Rain (Yale University Press)\, won the National Outdoor Book Award in 2025. \nHere at the tumultuous edge of a shifting continent\, the temperate rainforest of the Pacific Northwest has a lot to say about living on a rapidly changing planet. This is a land of giant trees\, exploding mountains\, disappearing owls\, salmon\, floods\, megafires\, and ten million people. It is a land born of fire and rain. Ecologist and artist M.L. (Peg) Herring takes you on a journey beyond the grid of latitude and longitude\, into places only your imagination can fit\, to discover why our rainforest is worth saving.

SUMMARY:Raised where the wind remembers (The Dust Bowl)
DESCRIPTION:Jeannine Jordan\nMy mother was born and raised on a wheat farm in western Kansas\, coming of age during the infamous “Dirty Thirties”—a time now remembered as the Dust Bowl era. I\, too\, am a native of western Kansas\, having grown up in the late 1950s amid flourishing wheat and sugar beet fields that had begun to recover from those devastating years. \nThis presentation will explore the many facets of the Dust Bowl and its impact on southwest Kansas and the Oklahoma Panhandle. We’ll examine the root causes of one of the most severe ecological disasters in American history\, share personal accounts from those who lived through it\, and reflect on the hard-earned lessons that ultimately helped restore the region’s agricultural vitality—enabling it to nourish the nation once again.
