SUMMARY:SciPub: Addressing Climate Change with Beavers
DESCRIPTION:What is beaver-based restoration and how can it help us?\n\n\n\n\nA Science Pub lecture with Meg Waller\, Environmental Scientist\, and Restoration Program Manager with Bark. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Lecture\n\n\n\n\nClimate change is impacting our environments more than ever. Our region is predicted to get less precipitation\, both in the form of rain and snow\, and in turn experience more frequent and intense wildfires over an extended fire season. This impacts humans\, plants\, animals and the land alike. \n\n\n\n\nConsidering these predictions\, a major focus of restoration groups across the region is how to store more water. One of the most valuable partners in this water-focused restoration is beavers! By damming small streams\, they create ponds and wetlands that store water and offer myriad other ecosystem benefits. Beavers benefit nearly all aspects of our ecosystems\, storing and filtering water\, sequestering carbon\, increasing nutrients and boosting biodiversity. \n\n\n\n\nAfter centuries of being hunted for their pelts and castoreum\, beavers are having a moment or\, more accurately\, a movement. People from Oregon to Georgia to Scotland are teaming up to spread the word about the incredible work these semi-aquatic rodents can do and how beneficial they are to so many ecosystems. Beaver-based restoration is an emerging\, holistic restoration method perfectly suited to a dynamic planet. \n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nScience Pubs are a casual lecture series located in fun venues across the region\, recommended for ages 10 and over. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n$8 suggested donation | Advance tickets recommended \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZoom Option\nIf you are unable to join us in person\, you can watch on Zoom. You must register in advance. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nFor tickets & more info: https://omsi.edu/events/scipub-addressing-climate-change-with-beavers/

SUMMARY:Science On Tap: Boosting Biodiversity with Insect-Friendly Gardens
DESCRIPTION:Insects are essential to life on Earth\, but insect populations are in trouble. However\, there is hope in our own yards. There are many things you can do to make a real difference in improving insect biodiversity right where you live. Our gardens can host an astonishing variety of insect life—if we provide the habitat\, we can make a real difference. \nFive years ago\, Amy Campion began making over her Portland garden to better serve the insects sharing her space. She was amazed by the creatures that soon showed up. She saw leafcutter bees harvesting petals to make nurseries\, grass-carrying wasps building their distinctive nests\, newly minted dragonflies taking their first flights. In all\, she’s seen more than 400 insect species in her little 7\,000 sq ft plot. \nIn this talk\, you’ll learn 8 things you can do to create more insect-friendly habitat in your own garden\, and you’ll meet some of the fascinating creatures that show up when you welcome them in. You’ll learn: \n* to appreciate aphids\n* to prioritize pollen over nectar\n* why you should feed caterpillars and with what\n* who’s living in your perennial stems\n* how to attract more “tickle bees” to your landscape\, and\n* how to control mosquitoes in your pond (without fish!) \n[Amy Campion](http://www.amycampion.com/) grew up in Minnesota\, but she became a gardener in the Cincinnati area\, where she worked at a wholesale nursery for 16 years. In 2013\, she moved to Portland\, Oregon\, and in 2017\, Amy co-authored *Gardening in the Pacific Northwest: The Complete Homeowner’s Guide* with Paul Bonine.\n——– \n**COST**:\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 (front center rows)\n**$45.00** SUPPORTER: Premium seating\, pint glass (beer not included)\, and good feelings for supporting the program \n**TICKETS**: [Get tickets!](https://www.kigginstheatre.com/checkout/showing/science-on-tap—boosting-biodiversity/2363872) \nVisit the [Science On Tap website](https://www.scienceontaporwa.org/)

SUMMARY:Sea Vegetables and Other Seashore Edibles of the Pacific Coast
DESCRIPTION:Garibaldi\, Oregon.\n$35 – $60 sliding scale\, children pay their age\, see details.\nDr. Kallas will lead an expedition to the Pacific coast where participants will learn about\, identify\, and gather samples of wild sea vegetables and seashore edibles during low tide. Find sea vegetables including nori\, kombu\, sea lettuce\, fucus\, alaria\, laminaria\, and more. This event requires climbing up and down some large and potentially slippery rocks to get to the beach\, so mobility is an issue. *End time is just an estimate. \nMeeting Site\nWe’ll meet in the parking area across the street from Lumberman’s Memorial Park\, just south of the large restroom. Here is a MAP to the intersection adjacent to the restroom and its parking area. Turning south onto Garabaldi’s 3rd street gets you to American Avenue\, which gets you to Lumberman’s Park. Be there under the canopy by 7:35am. From there we will move on to the sea vegetable bed. While waiting\, go into the restroom and empty your bladder prior to our arrival (force yourself – it’s the last chance you will have for almost 3 hours). Wait patiently in the parking area in case we get delayed\, get to know the other participants\, read a book\, change into your beach cloths and shoes. We’ll swing by soon to pick you up and proceed on to the workshop site. You must be there when we arrive or you will miss us. Make sure we have your cell phone number if you have one (in case of an emergency)! Program our number 503-775-3828 into your cell phone. But note that cell phone service in the coast mountain range is almost non-existent so anyone\, including the instructor\, cannot be reached while traveling there. Low tide is estimated to be around 8:41am. \nWhat to Bring\n\n\nA strong opaque white plastic grocery-style bag with a handle\, which you could hang from your belt using a carabiner\nScissors\, preferably in a belted sheath\nOld wettable tennis shoes. DO NOT wear sandals or flip flops!\nRaingear\, if rain is likely\nWarm layered clothing – you may get wet up to your calves\nAny remaining registration materials that you need to hand in.\n\n\n\n\nA day pack for water and anything you want to carry with you on the beach\nFor the travel home: a towel\, a change of cloths\, a cooler for the food\nNo permit is required for the amount of seavegetables we will be gathering\nMoney if you want to buy John’s books. $25-30 each\, sliding scale\, (list price is $28) cash\, check\, or CC ($1 extra each book for CC fee). Edible Wild Plants\, Volumes 1 and/or 2. They will be available after the workshop to look at or buy.\n\n\nWhatever you wear\, it must protect your knees\, shins\, and hands. No sandals\, flip-flops\, or soft-soled water socks unless you love bleeding feet\, ankles\, and shins! Prepare for variable coastal weather!\n\n\n\nPricing Details\nSliding Scale Economics\nDue to hard economic times for some\, sliding scales are offered to support individual financial circumstances.  We ask participants to pay what they feel they can afford within the range offered for each workshop.  You decide what to pay using an honest assessment of your individual circumstances.  We do not ask anyone to explain their very personal decision.  The high end is a very reasonable price for these quality workshops for those who are doing well in this economy.

Multi-day Rendezvous require an additional waiver. \n\nCancellation Due to Nature Or Contaminated Runoff\nWhile we have never yet had to cancel due to natural or man-made contamination of the area\, such as thing is possible. Coastal lightening would also be dangerous. Rain or wind alone will not stop us. Since these things are outside of our control\, sometimes they are inconvenient. For instance if you rent a place at the coast or have made special plans to bring yourself to this workshop\, we cannot reimburse you for costs you have incurred. You will have to make the best of whatever you have arranged. Also note that it costs Wild Food Adventures about two thousand dollars in time\, advertising\, communications\, bookkeeping\, management\, and refunds should a cancellation occur.

SUMMARY:Mussels\, Barnacles and Coastal Wild Foods
DESCRIPTION:Hug Point\, Oregon.\n$35 – $60 sliding scale\, children pay their age\, see details.\nHug Point\, Arch Cape\, Oregon. Learn how to find\, harvest\, transport\, clean\, and prepare Oregon mussels\, barnacles\, and other edible wild plants during one of the lowest tides in 2025. Learn gathering regulations\, limits and the modern tools used to gather them. We will cover some sea vegetables but only collect them if abundant and in season. The times we meet are dictated by when the tides are low enough to for us to reach the mussels. End time is just an estimate. \nWhat to Bring\nEach person should bring a 2026 Oregon Recreational Shellfish License – Read about licenses below. A license is mandatory for anyone 12 or older! You can print a paper version and have one downloaded to your phone via the MyODFW app. DO NOT bring a crow bar\, even if you’ve used one before. It’s destructive to mussel habitat. \n\n\n\nA current Oregon Shellfish Collecting License\nOne 3 or 5 gallon collecting pail per person for mussels. You might also bring a carabiner to attach the bucket handle to your belt\nIf this workshop is between March 1 and June 15\, bring a white reusable plastic grocery bag (the kind with handles) for collecting sea vegetables. After the date\, sea vegetable collecting is not allowed.\nOld wettable pants and tennis shoes. Warm layered wetable synthetic or wool clothing – you will get wet\, possibly up to your thighs\, typically up to your knees. You could bring chest waders\, but that may limit your movement on rocks\n\n\n\n\nAny remaining registration materials that you need to hand in\nLeather work gloves if you have sensitive hands\nLong strong scissors in a holster (preferred) or a knife in a holster\nA day pack with water\, snacks\, extra layers for warmth\nA towel and change of cloths for your return trip home\nMoney if you want to buy John’s books ($25-30 each [sliding scale] list price is $28). We accept cash\, check\, or CC ($1 extra each book for CC fee). Edible Wild Plants\, Volumes 1 and 2 are available after each workshop to look at or buy.\n\n\n\nRecreational Shellfish Licenses\nRecreational Shellfish Licenses are now required for anyone 12 and over to collect shellfish in Oregon. In-state licenses are $10/year\, Out of state licenses are $19 for 3 days or $28/year. 3-Day licenses must specify the days you intend to do the collecting. You must carry the License with you during the workshop (in a phone app or a printed copy) or you will only be allowed to watch. If shellfish are found in your possession on the beach and you do not have a license\, the fine is $80 and up. Licenses should be purchased “PRIOR” to our events by going to the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife web site. DO NOT wait until the last minute! Here is how to do it: \nSteps to Getting a Shellfish License\nGo to the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife web site Or you may be able to do the whole thing from your phone from their “MyODFW” app. I have not tried the phone app route to pay so the directions here are only how to do it on your computer.\nWait until after January 2 of the current year.\nIf you are new\, press: “Create an Account Today”\nCreate a user name & password – Record them since you will use the same account every year when purchasing a license or to open the app.\nIf you already have a digital account\, press: “Verify/Look up your Account”\nFollow the prompts.\nOnce an account is created click\, “Purchase From the Catalog”\nType “Annual Shellfish License” in the search bar.\nClick “Add” to add it to your cart. Then go to your cart to purchase.\nWhen done\, the license will be added to your\, “Recreational Portfolio” for the current year. It is good until December 31 of the year you buy it.\nPrint out or save a pdf copy to your computer.\nOn your phone go to your APP Store and search for “MyODFW”. Add it to your phone apps. Load in your user name and password and it will display your license. Then if you are ever stopped by the coastal authorities you can just pull up the app.\nIf you have trouble understanding the process\, the licensing office number is: 503-947-6101 \nFor more information:\nCall the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife at 800-720-6339 or 503-947-6000.\nGeneral Clamming Information: Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife\nShellfish Regulations & Limits: Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife \nNote: that a license does not allow us the ability to collect shellfish if there is a marine toxin advisory from the Department of Fish & Wildlife\, The Department of Health\, or the USDA.\n\nMeet us at Hug Point\nMeet us at Hug Point Recreation Area parking lot – see map.: Be there before 8:15am and wait patiently. Go to the restroom and empty your bladder prior to our arrival (force yourself – it’s the last chance you will have for almost 3 hours\, though bathrooms are only a 15 min walk away). Wait patiently in the parking lot in case we get delayed\, get to know the other participants\, read a book\, change into your beach cloths and shoes. We’ll swing by soon to pick you up and proceed on to the workshop site. If you are late go down to the beach heading south and look for us. Make sure we have your cell phone number if you have one (in case of an emergency)! Program our number 503-775-3828 into your cell phone. Cell coverage is bad in the coast range and spotty along the coast. Low tide is estimated to be at around 9:28am. \nCarpooling from Portland\nIf you need a ride to the coast\, or prefer carpooling or caravanning\, give us a call or e-mail to see if it can be arranged. This must be arranged ahead of time. Expect to pay $10 to the driver to help pay for fuel. \n\nPricing Details\nSliding Scale Economics\nDue to hard economic times for some\, sliding scales are offered to support individual financial circumstances.  We ask participants to pay what they feel they can afford within the range offered for each workshop.  You decide what to pay using an honest assessment of your individual circumstances.  We do not ask anyone to explain their very personal decision.  The high end is a very reasonable price for these quality workshops for those who are doing well in this economy. Groups must contact us for circumstance-specific rates. Rendezvous have their own rates. \nDiscounts\n$5 Discounts are available on our Registration Form for adult family members that attend together\, persons identifying as indigenous\, full time college students and scout leaders. Children (17 and under) must be accompanied by their parent(s). Children under 7 are free. Children 7 and above pay their age. Classrooms and teachers with students are not eligible for these discounts and must contact us for circumstance-specific rates. Rendezvous have their own rates. \nRefund & Transfer Policies\nIf you cannot attend a workshop you registered for\, and you contact us immediately\, or at the latest\, the last weekday before the event\, you are entitled to a transfer or refund minus a $5 processing fee. If you do not show up the day of a workshop you registered for\, you forfeit the full amount paid. \n\nEnrollment Limited! – Advanced registration reserves you a place in the workshop. Walk-ons may be turned away if our size limit is reached. When registering by mail\, assume a workshop is open unless you see a “FULL” notice posted above. \nRegistration\nDownload the REGISTRATION and WAIVER Forms. Print and fill out these forms and mail them with payment to: Wild Food Adventures\, 422 SE 49th Ave\, Portland\, OR 97215. If there is space and your are a walk-on\, bring the forms and payment with you. While you can register many times throughout the year\, only a single waiver form is required per person per year (Jan 1 – Dec 31) for all our day events. Multi-day Rendezvous require an additional waiver. \n\nCancellation Due to Nature Or Contaminated Runoff\nDue to warming oceans\, red tides have become more frequent. For the first time in 30 years (so it is rare) the whole coast was closed for about a month in 2024 to any clamming. If a major closure happens during the date of this event\, we would have to cancel it. Any time we have to cancel an event\, it is a huge inconvenience to all of us. A cancelled clamming workshop costs Wild Food Adventures up to two thousand dollars in time\, advertising\, bookkeeping\, management\, license fees\, and refunds. It could also cost you\, even if I refund all your money. If you decide to rent nearby lodging at the coast\, incur travel or other expenses\, or plan with other people\, we cannot reimburse you or make up for any change in your plans. If we have to cancel\, the only thing you can do is make the best of whatever plans you already made.

SUMMARY:An evening of physics and philosophy with award-winning cosmologist Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein
DESCRIPTION:A special Science Pub lecture in concert with the release of Dr. Prescod-Weinstein’s newest book\, The Edge of Space-Time: Particles\, Poetry\, and the Cosmic Dream Boogie.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Lecture\n\n\n\n\nDrawing on poetry and popular culture—from Langston Hughes\, Queen Latifah\, and Lewis Carroll\, to Big K.R.I.T.\, Sun Ra\, and Star Trek—Dr. Prescod-Weinstein will take some of the most abstract concepts of theoretical physics and render them accessible for any who come to learn about the history and fundamental nature of our universe. \nHere we meet the quantum cat that is both dead and alive\, learn the difference between dark matter and dark energy\, explore the inner workings of black holes\, and investigate the possibility of a unified theory of quantum gravity\, following our speaker to the far reaches of the cosmic event horizon and down to the tiniest (and queerest) neutrino. \n\n\n\n\nAlong the way\,  informed by her deep knowledge of post-colonial history and Black feminist thought\, Prescod-Weinstein will challenge listeners to imagine a better path forward in our pursuit of humanity’s undeniable connection with the stars\, viewing physics as an essential way for everyone to look at the universe. \n\n\n\n\nScience Pubs are a casual lecture series located in fun venues across the region\, recommended for ages 10 and over \n\nFor tickets and more info: https://omsi.edu/events/science-pub-the-edge-of-space-time/

SUMMARY:Science On Tap: The Counting of Crows
DESCRIPTION:There is no animal we’re more aware of having as neighbors as the American Crow. Loud\, ubiquitous\, and immediately recognizable\, most Portlanders will see crows every day. And yet\, there are few animals as mysterious and captivating. \n* If I feed crows\, will they bring me shiny presents?\n* Why are crows so intelligent\, and what do they do with those big brains?\n* Why\, if we look outside at dawn and dusk\, do we see vast numbers of them all flying in the same direction?\n* Why do they tear out the grass in our lawns?\n* Why do they bring bits of food and wash it in our bird baths?\n* Why do they dive bomb some people?\n* Do they really remember human faces? And hold funerals for their fallen? \nIn this wide-ranging exploration of the exceedingly common\, and unique\, American Crow\, we’ll learn what makes them so fascinating and mysterious\, and try to answer some of these questions along the way. \nBrodie Cass Talbott works at Bird Alliance of Oregon\, where he has been educating both adults and kids about birds since 2018. He leads birdwatching tours near and far\, teaches classes on bird ecology and identification\, and works to engage the growing birdwatching community in the conservation work that Bird Alliance of Oregon has been doing since 1902. \n  \nCOST:\n$15 DISCOUNT (senior\, student\, it’s your birthday\, just can’t afford the GA price right now)\n$25 GENERAL ADMISSION\n$35 VIP Premium seating (front center rows)\n$45 SUPPORTER (Premium seating\, pint glass (beer not included)\, and good feelings for supporting the program) \nGet tickets! https://www.etix.com/ticket/p/32524337/science-on-tapthe-counting-of-crows-portland-alberta-rose-theatre \n  \nVisit the Science On Tap website(https://www.scienceontaporwa.org/) \n

Camping is not permitted on the center grounds. No pets. Young people who are interested in participating in our program are welcome. Parents are responsible for the supervision and safety of their children during the weekend. Staff at the 4H center prepare all meals except the Saturday evening feast. \nThe 4H center provides standard meals (served “Southern home cooking” style) with the exception of the Wild Feast on Saturday. Most participants will share in the processing and preparation of wild foods for that Saturday feast. \nThere typically is a favorite wild dish contest\, a wine tasting event where the participants choose the best wine. Crafts and classes vary. All these events happen in addition to foraging experiences and the Saturday Wild Feast. \nYou will need comfortable shoes and clothes appropriate for outdoor weather.
