SUMMARY:Bark’s July Campout!
DESCRIPTION:Bark is hosting the first of our two planned campouts this summer! Campouts allow us to collect much more data than we’re able to do in a single field day with the added fun of hanging out with fellow Barkers at camp afterwards! You’ll get the opportunity to join us for groundtruthing\, beaver habitat\, and wetland verification surveys. No experience necessary! \nOur first campout is focused on surveying the South Wasco Ecosystem Resiliency (SWER) project\, which is currently being developed by the Forest Service. The project area is roughly south of Frog Lake\, and east of Clear Lake along the National Forest and Warm Springs Reservation boundary. It is too early to know exactly what the Forest Service will be proposing\, but SWER is a very large project containing a range of forest types and plant communities\, including some areas of the forest with mature and old growth characteristics. The data we collect will be critical to Bark’s advocacy\, defense\, and restoration work. \nShout out to The Mazamas for their generous support in funding this campout! \nWhat to Expect\nOn the first day\, meet Bark staff at the Bark office at 9am. From there we will carpool/caravan to the campsite. \nCan’t join us for the whole campout? No problem. Register and let us know what day(s) we should expect you! We will try to ensure that carpooling is available for folks wanting to join on Friday or Saturday. \nWant to drive yourself? Great! We will send out campsite coordinates the day before the campout\, when the location is finalized. \nEach day will go something like this… \n\nWake up and eat breakfast\, gather gear\, and whatever else you need to prepare for a day of surveying.\nCircle up in camp to discuss the plan for the day and form groups. Then\, leave camp with our groups and head to our survey locations. You will be able to choose between groundtruthing (forest) surveys\, wetland surveys\, and beaver habitat surveys.\nGroups will meet back at camp in the afternoon to share our findings\, hang out\, swim\, relax\, eat dinner\, and sleep.\n\nQuestions?  Need to borrow anything? Email ForestWatch@Bark-Out.org \nFor more info and link to registration\, visit: https://bark-out.org/event/barks-july-campout/ \n

SUMMARY:Forest Watch Committee
DESCRIPTION:The Forest Watch Committee is Bark’s group of dedicated volunteers who keep watch over Mt Hood National Forest and gain a more in-depth understanding of how National Forests are managed. We meet monthly to discuss projects on Mt Hood\, prioritize areas to groundtruth\, collaborate on NEPA comments\, and strategize our response to destructive proposals. As needed\, we will discuss and collaborate on regional or national environmental policy changes related to our work. \nIf you want to be more informed and involved with actions proposed on Mt Hood National Forest and meet others who share your interests\, the Forest Watch Committee is a great place to be! \nWe meet in the Bark office on the third Tuesday of each month from 6-8pm. If you are interested in joining\, please reach out to Jordan\, Bark’s Forest Watch Program Manager (jordan@bark-out.org) for more information and to be added to the email list.

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:Bark - Groundtruthing Training
DESCRIPTION:Let’s head back up to the Larch Mountain area for some forest exploration and groundtruthing training! Have you been wanting to learn more about Bark’s groundtruthing program? This will be an excellent chance to learn some new skills and prepare yourself for field days on Mt Hood. No experience necessary! \nYou will get the opportunity to learn why we survey\, what we survey for\, and how we use the data to alter/stop timber projects and hold the Forest Service accountable. We will view examples of different kinds of forest stands we encounter during surveys and practice using tools for data gathering. By the end\, you’ll be one step closer to becoming a groundtruthing pro! \nMeet at the Bark office at 9 am\, we’ll depart in carpool/caravan at 9:30am and return by 3 pm. \nQuestions or concerns? Reach out to Jordan (jordan@bark-out.org) and/or Mia (miatpisano@gmail.com). \nHope to see you there!

SUMMARY:Introduction to Wetland Ecology and Mapping
DESCRIPTION:Join Bark staff to learn about basic wetland ecology and Barks work to protect on Mt. Hood! \nWetlands are often in and around forested areas proposed for logging and other timber treatments. Although there are strict rules protecting wetlands from being disturbed in timber extraction\, those rules only apply to wetland which are accurately mapped and many of them aren’t. Since most wetland mapping in Oregon was done in the 1980’s\, many wetlands go un-mapped or don’t match the size and shape they were mapped at decades ago. When we gain on-the-ground access to these wetlands\, we’re able to accurately map their boundaries and classify them correctly\, helping to protect them from future management projects on the mountain. \nThis class will be an integral first step in learning how to identify and classify wetlands on Mt. Hood in order to protect them from timber sales and other destructive practices. In-field trainings will follow later in the summer. \nLocation: Bark Office\, 351 NE 18th Avenue\, Portland\, OR 97232 \nDate and Time: Wednesday\, 5/14. 6pm-8pm. \nQuestions? Concerns?
