Climate Change and Oregon--Building Resiliency

The Earth’s climate is changing. How do we adapt to this new reality and prepare for the future? Join Kathie Dello, Deputy Director of the Oregon Climate Service, for a presentation on climate change and its impacts on Central Oregon and the state. Kathie will discuss current and future changes to mountain snowpack, wildfire, and vegetation. How might climate change affect our waters and recreation?  Then, learn about climate adaptation and the measures being taken to build resilience—and hope—into the natural world. 

Please RSVP for this event so that we can make sure enough seating is available.

***Winter Nature Nights are held at the GoodLife Brewery (directions) on the second to last Tuesday of the month.
