SUMMARY:Inner Bark: Citizen’s Rare Plant Watch
DESCRIPTION:Bark and Citizens Rare Plant Watch are joining forces to bring volunteers into the office to learn about rare plants\, and specifically Corydalis aquae-gelidae. Identifying rare plants in timber sales can help build better comments\, identify at-risk ecosystems\, and just deepen our understanding of nature. \nIf you attend this classroom portion\, you will be then invited to a field portion on July 7th. Field portion details will only be given to those who attend. \nCitizen’s Rare Plant Watch is a group based out of PSU which trains volunteers to search for rare species of plants and contribute to their conservation in the state of Oregon. Our mission is to increase the understanding of the status and extent of rare plant species throughout Oregon\, while promoting direct involvement of volunteers in conservation. \nNora Dunkirk is a Mycologist and Botanist with INR at Portland State University. She completed her PhD at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in the Botany Department\, where she focused on Fungal biology in response to global change. At INR\, she works with plants and fungi\, developing species accounts for species of conservation concern\, and she is responsible for maintaining the plant\, lichen\, and fungi INR rare species databases. Nora has recently taken leadership of the group Citizen’s Rare Plant Watch\, which leads volunteers to help land managers in Oregon find rare native plants across the state.

SUMMARY:Wetland Mapping Field Day
DESCRIPTION:Join Bark for a Mt Hood Wetland Mapping Field Day! No experience required! \nWetlands serve many functions- from biodiversity hotspots\, water storage and filtration\, aquifer replenishment\, wildfire breaks and more. Luckily\, wetlands are protected from logging and other destructive treatments in timber sales. However\, when the Forest Service plans timber sales\, they refer to the National Wetland Inventory– an inventory mostly done in the 1980’s and with technology less sophisticated than scientists now use. Therefore\, when the Forest Service is planning timber sales and other forest projects\, they may not have accurate information about the current location\, size\, and type of many wetlands. This is where Bark comes in! Staff and volunteers are able to assess wetlands on the ground and use that information to stop destructive timber projects in sensitive wetland areas. It’s like groundtruthing but in wetlands! \nEveryone is welcome and no experience necessary! Wetland Mapping field days are moderate to high physical activity days with plenty of stepping over logs\, wading into wetland areas and pushing through shrubs. We’ll collect data from all over our site and assess our site to see if the wetland codes on our maps match what we see on the ground. This includes assessing plants\, hydrology and soils- be ready to get your hands dirty! \nFor every field day\, we will all meet at Gateway/NE 99th Ave. at 9 am. Make sure to meet us at the entrance to the parking garage! From there we will coordinate carpooling to our secondary location. This location will vary depending on the final survey site so keep an eye out for an update/reminder email a few days before the event. At the secondary location\, I will share the coordinates for our final destination\, and we will caravan together to the site. At the final site\, we will do our Land Acknowledgement writing practice\, share safety info\, talk about the site and then head into the field for some surveying! While in the field\, we will stop frequently for breaks\, water\, snacks and lunch. We will survey for approximately 4 hours\, depending on the length of our drive\, and return in time to be at the Gateway/99th Ave. Park and Ride between 5 and 6pm. \nCheck out our website for more info: Typical Field Day\, Field Day Packing List \nQuestions?  Email Meg@Bark-Out.org

SUMMARY:Wetland Mapping Field Day
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our FIRST Mt Hood Wetland Mapping Field Day of 2025! No experience required! \nWetlands serve many functions- from biodiversity hotspots\, water storage and filtration\, aquifer replenishment\, wildfire breaks and more. Luckily\, wetlands are protected from logging and other destructive treatments in timber sales. However\, when the Forest Service plans timber sales\, they refer to the National Wetland Inventory– an inventory mostly done in the 1980’s and with technology less sophisticated than scientists now use. Therefore\, when the Forest Service is planning timber sales and other forest projects\, they may not have accurate information about the current location\, size\, and type of many wetlands. This is where Bark comes in! Staff and volunteers are able to assess wetlands on the ground and use that information to stop destructive timber projects in sensitive wetland areas. It’s like groundtruthing but in wetlands! \nEveryone is welcome and no experience necessary! Wetland Mapping field days are moderate to high physical activity days with plenty of stepping over logs\, wading into wetland areas and pushing through shrubs. We’ll collect data from all over our site and assess our site to see if the wetland codes on our maps match what we see on the ground. This includes assessing plants\, hydrology and soils- be ready to get your hands dirty! \nFor every field day\, we will all meet at Gateway/NE 99th Ave. at 9 am. Make sure to meet us at the entrance to the parking garage! From there we will coordinate carpooling to our secondary location. This location will vary depending on the final survey site so keep an eye out for an update/reminder email a few days before the event. At the secondary location\, I will share the coordinates for our final destination\, and we will caravan together to the site. At the final site\, we will do our Land Acknowledgement writing practice\, share safety info\, talk about the site and then head into the field for some surveying! While in the field\, we will stop frequently for breaks\, water\, snacks and lunch. We will survey for approximately 4 hours\, depending on the length of our drive\, and return in time to be at the Gateway/99th Ave. Park and Ride between 5 and 6pm. \nCheck out our website for more info: Typical Field Day\, Field Day Packing List \nQuestions?  Email Meg@Bark-Out.org

SUMMARY:Thigmomorphogenesis\, or Why Most Trees Don’t Fall Over
DESCRIPTION:Thigmomorphogenesis\, or Why Most Trees Don’t Fall Over\n\nBack by popular demand!\nHave you ever noticed a tree not fall over?  A tree’s natural state is upright—it’s their default mode. Yet\, myths pervade: \n\n“You should thin your tree”\n“You should top your tree”\n“Douglas-firs have shallow roots”\n“Lone trees are more likely to fall”\n“The roots will ruin my foundation”\n“That tree will fall and kill my whole family”\n\nDespite the ubiquity of normal\, upright trees around us\, we often only notice those scattered few that stop being upright\, most often in extreme weather.  And frankly\, those few sully the good reputation of the thousands of others. \nIn the Pacific Northwest\, our trees grow to be some of the tallest and largest organisms on the planet\, and that can be understandably intimidating as you watch them bend and sway during winter weather from your home.  Luckily\, our trees did not achieve their prominence by accident\, and this talk will explain what the trees are doing\, how they react to their environment\, and what you can do to make sure your trees are safe. \nHow does a tree build itself?  How does it choose which direction to grow?  Is it a giant\, static monolith waiting to crush everything beneath it? or a dynamic\, self-optimizing living system that wants to keep itself upright arguably more than you? Join us on a journey through the lifecycle of a tree: how it grows\, lives\, and dies.  In other words: how do trees become trees and what makes them so good at it? \nAn arborist\, a dendrologist\, and educator\, Casey Clapp is the principal consultant with Portland Arboriculture and co-host/co-creator of CompletelyArbortrary\, a weekly podcast about trees and other related topics. He’s also the author of the forthcoming book The Trees Around You: How to identify common neighborhood trees in the Pacific Northwest.  Casey holds degrees in Forestry and Environmental Conservation\, and he’s an ISA Board Certified Master Arborist\, Qualified Tree Risk Assessor\, and Municipal Specialist. Find him on social media @clapp4trees or reach him at casey@pdxarbor.com. \nTickets:\n$15.00 DISCOUNT (senior\, student\, it’s your birthday\, just can’t afford the GA price right now)\n$25.00 GENERAL ADMISSION\n$35.00 VIP: Premium seating in the front several rows of the center section\n$45.00 SUPPORTER: Premium seating\, pint glass (beer not included)\, and good feelings for supporting the program \nMinors ok when accompanied by a parent or guardian \nDoors: 6pm Show: 7pm \nLink: https://www.scienceontaporwa.org/events/alberta-may_28_trees/

SUMMARY:Using Colonizers: Plantain
DESCRIPTION:Let’s take a look at using the plant Plantain! \nThis little groundcover genus\, Plantago\, is also known as ‘White Man’s Foot’. While it is not as invasive as other species I have focused on\, it is plentiful and easily harvested. During this workshop\, we will also be making salve using mainly plantain\, oil\, and beeswax. This is useful on dry skin and minor injuries! \nThe location of the training itself will be indoors at Bark’s Office at 351 NE 18th Avenue\, Portland\, OR. 97232. This event will have classroom style learning so bring pencil and paper. Gender-neutral restrooms will be available. \n‘Using Colonizers’ is Bark’s class series focusing on using invasive species as much as we can. This not only removes harmful species from Pacific Northwest spaces\, but gives us tools to use the removed plants instead of just killing them. Have a craft you’d like to teach? Have a backyard filled with invasives and would like to host? Contact me at Haley@bark-out.org \nRegistration Required \nSliding Scale $0-$20

SUMMARY:Tree Transformation Card Readings
DESCRIPTION:Ground yourself while awakening energy within through guided Qigong movements. Then stroll to a special grove of trees featuring ginkgo\, Chinese and Japanese white pine\, Japanese red pine\, dawn redwood\, and others. There you will be guided through a tree reading that can focus on a specific area of concern\, or may simply open you to guidance and receiving messages. The Tree Cards—a uniquely accurate oracle—help bridge the connection to tree wisdom. These cards were inspired by meeting the trees in the Arboretum and discovering that each species carries a distinct energy and message. Bring a journal to capture your insights. If you have a deck of Tree Cards\, bring them along! A few loaner decks are available. There is also a special ticket price if you would like to purchase your own deck of cards for a discounted price for this class only. \nThis event is coordinated by Hoyt Arboretum\, and registration is required through their website.
