SUMMARY:Tracing Geological History Through Rocks and Minerals in Oregon's Desert (Portland)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the final events of Oregon Natural Desert Association’s 2024 High Desert Speaker Series\, featuring Alison Jean Cole—an author\, rockhound\, and lapidary artist. In this informative talk\, Alison will showcase the rock and mineral treasures of Oregon’s desert. Obsidian\, jasper\, opal\, and petrified wood each tell a unique story about the fascinating geological history of our region. Glimpses of Oregon’s earliest cultures can be traced through these stone materials\, which have been sought after for thousands of years. Come learn how the practice of rock collecting has transformed over the centuries\, and how it can be balanced with conservation efforts in our modern world. \nONDA is working to make our events as accessible as possible\, and this event will feature an American Sign Language interpreter. \nThis event has passed. \nIf you would like to attend but experience a barrier to purchasing a ticket\, please contact ccekander@onda.org \n  \nAbout the Presenter\nAlison Jean Cole is a geology enthusiast based in Portland\, Oregon. She travels all over the western United States in search of materials to use in her lapidary craft. She leads rockhounding expeditions\, is a proud member of her local rock club\, and self-publishes Thunderegg\, a zine that focuses on the changing face of rockhounding culture. Her first book\, Beautiful Rocks & How to Find Them will be out in March 2024. \n  \n  \n  \nPhoto: Alison Jean Cole

SUMMARY:Cultivating Partnerships: Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Science in Land Stewardship (Portland)
DESCRIPTION:Spend an evening with Dr. Cristina Eisenberg\, a community ecologist and Associate Dean for Inclusive Excellence and  Director of Tribal Initiatives at Oregon State University\, as part of Oregon Natural Desert Association’s 2024 High Desert Speaker Series. \nDr. Eisenberg will share learnings from her land stewardship research focused on ecocultural restoration. This event will explore how a merging of Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Western Science – a concept called Two-Eyed Seeing – can build cross-cultural partnerships and projects that conserve landscapes and elevate indigenous communities. \nONDA’s Stewardship Director\, Gena Goodman-Campbell\, will join to delve into the current steps ONDA is taking to restore Oregon’s high desert in partnership with local tribes. \nYou’ll leave this event with a better understanding of how Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Western Science can be used to create sustainable and resilient natural systems. \nView the slides from this presentation. \n  \nONDA is working to make our events as accessible as possible\, and this event will feature an American Sign Language interpreter. \nIf you would like to attend but experience a barrier to purchasing a ticket\, please contact ccekander@onda.org \nThank you to WYLD for supporting high desert conservation and sponsoring this event. \n \n\nAbout the Presenters\n \nDr. Cristina Eisenberg is the Associate Dean for Inclusive Excellence and Maybelle Clark Macdonald Director of Tribal Initiatives in Natural Resources at Oregon State University in the College of Forestry (CoF) and Professor of Practice. In the CoF she is the director of the Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) Lab\, and the Indigenous Natural Resource Office. As a Native American and Latinx ecologist\, she leads several long-term ecological restoration projects\, including the BLM /OSU/Fort Belknap Grassland Restoration Project on the Northern Plains of Montana\, and the Pacific Northwest Tribal Conservation Corps Pilot Project for Seeds of Success\, which involves working with five of the Tribal Nations in Oregon. All the projects she leads incorporate Indigenous Knowledge (IK) and best Western science into ecocultural restoration practice. She works with the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy\, the US Forest Service\, the US Congress\, and the Bureau of Land Management to advise them on IK and Tribal Sovereignty and how to partner with Tribal Nations. Cristina is a Director at Large on the Society for Ecological Restoration (SER) Board of Directors. She leads the SER TEK Working Group and is the author of numerous books\, journal articles\, and book chapters. \n  \n \nAs ONDA’s Stewardship Director\, Gena Goodman-Campbell engages ONDA’s community in hands-on restoration projects that improve desert habitat in key watersheds and migration corridors. After growing up in Portland\, Gena graduated with a bachelor’s degree in political science from Colorado College with a focus on international conflict resolution. Drawn back home to Oregon\, she joined the Oregon Student Public Interest Research Group (OSPIRG) at Central Oregon Community College to organize voter mobilization campaigns\, petition drives\, and wilderness hikes. Gena then joined ONDA as our Badlands Wilderness Coordinator and has been with ONDA for 17 years.

SUMMARY:Exploring the Native Plants of Oregon's High Desert
DESCRIPTION:Calling all plant lovers! Join us in Portland for an evening of botany and ecology as we explore the native plants of Oregon’s high desert in our second event of the 2023 High Desert Speaker Series.
