SUMMARY:Groundtruthing 101 w/ Bark
DESCRIPTION:Bark’s groundtruthing program has been a core piece of our defense work since Bark’s founding in 1999. Every field season\, Bark staff and volunteers survey areas on Mt Hood National Forest where Forest Service projects are proposed\, from timber sales\, to road maintenance\, to prescribed fire\, and more. The data we collect enables Bark and the public to assess how accurately the agency’s project documents describe the forest and impacts. By providing more transparent and accessible information\, groundtruthers help the public to better understand and engage in decisions about public lands management. Groundtruthers can and have found discrepancies in agency information and located rare or threatened plants and animal species\, leading to the alteration or cancellation of projects. \nThis training will go over what Bark surveys for and how we use this information to shape and influence the decision-making on Mt Hood National Forest. Learn how to understand US Forest Service project documents\, navigate off trail with maps\, measure tree diameter\, canopy cover\, slope\, and how to be a stronger advocate for your local National Forest. No experience required! \nGroundtruthing 101 will be a classroom-style training hosted at Bark HQ and taught by Jordan Latter\, Bark’s Forest Watch Program Manager. Bring a pen and paper or laptop if you wish to take notes. \nBark HQ is located at 351 NE 18th Avenue in Portland\, OR. It is a wheelchair-accessible space with gender neutral restrooms. \nStay tuned for Groundtruthing 201 – a hands-on groundtruthing training in the field!

SUMMARY:Brainy Birds: Spring Class
DESCRIPTION:Birds are incredible and have adapted to survive in dynamic & changing environments. Every species has unique traits and sometimes quite specialized strategies. Using the backdrop of seasonal changes at Hoyt Arboretum\, Dr. Kiki Sanford will facilitate discovery of the many ways it is connected to its avian inhabitants. Winter classes will center on adaptations for surviving intense seasonal conditions. Spring brings the frenzy of breeding season. Summer includes juvenile development and the onset of the next annual cycle. And\, Autumn classes will focus on the fall migration. Each seasonal class will highlight the various birds present in the Arboretum\, and include observation & discussion of specific aspects of how their brains & bodies lead to certain behaviors useful in the Hoyt habitats. Short informal lectures and group discussions will be followed by exploratory bird-watching hikes to observe these processes in action. \n \n\nRegistration closes 2 hours before the start time\nClass starts indoors and ends outside with a guided walk\nReminder & details will be emailed closer to the program date\nWhen you attend at least two Brainy Birds classes\, you will receive a coupon code for 15% off of future ticket prices\n\n  \nAbout the instructor: Dr. Kiki Sanford is a science communicator\, an informal educator\, public speaker\, community-builder\, non-profit leader\, strategic thinker and entrepreneur with more than 20 years of experience talking about science. She’s been interested in birds even longer. Her PhD work at UC Davis investigated learning and memory in birds\, and she has spent decades enjoying & observing their fascinating behaviors. She founded\, produces\, and hosts the This Week in Science (TWIS) podcast\, the longest-running\, female-owned science podcast\, which live streams weekly on Facebook\, Twitch\, & YouTube. She is Executive Vice President and co-founder of the Association of Science Communicators (ASC)\, hub for the professional science communication community\, which has organized the SCIENCE TALK conference here in Portland\, OR for the past 10 years. Additionally\, her consultancy\, Broader Impacts Productions\, helps scientists & organizations create effective & engaging multi-media science storytelling. She’s excited to explore the birds of Hoyt Arboretum and discover their many stories with you! \nTo register: https://www.hoytarboretum.org/events/brainy-birds-04-18-26/
