“Reclaiming Our Public Trust Rights” A Zoom Forum with Professor Mary Wood

The extractive practices of industrial forestry (clearcutting followed by pesticide spraying) have already wreaked havoc on waters, wildlife and the health of too many community members. On October 17, Professor Mary Wood will discuss how natural resources that forests provide—including clean drinking water and breathable air— belong to the public trust.

Dr. Wood is a professor of law and Faculty Director of the Environmental and Natural Resources Law Center at the University of Oregon. She has published extensively on the climate crisis, natural resources and native law issues.

We are honored to have her speak with North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection!

When: October 17, 6:00pm

Webinar on the Public Trust and Watersheds

Submitted By: phillip@oregonshores.org – Click to email about this post
Two coastal conservation groups are joining forces to host a webinar which will explore a fundamental concept in resource protection: the nature of the public trust. North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection and Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition are teaming up to host a virtual talk by Mary Wood, a professor at the University of Oregon School of Law and author of “Nature’s Trust: Environmental Law for a New Ecological Age.” She will speak on the concept of the public trust as it relates to coastal watersheds. This event takes place on Monday, Oct. 17, at 6 p.m. It is free and open to all.

Professor Wood will discuss how natural resources that forests provide—including clean drinking water and breathable air—belong to the public trust. She will relate this concept to the way in which extractive practices of industrial forestry (such as clearcutting followed by pesticide spraying) have grave impacts to water, wildlife, and the public health of many communities on the coast and elsewhere in Oregon.

Mary Christina Wood is the Philip H. Knight Professor of Law at the University of Oregon and the Faculty Director of the law school’s nationally acclaimed Environmental and Natural Resources Law Center. She is an award-winning professor and the co-author of leading textbooks on public trust law and natural resources law. Her book, “Nature’s Trust,” sets forth a new paradigm of global ecological responsibility.

Prof. Wood originated the legal approach called Atmospheric Trust Litigation, now being used in cases brought on behalf of youth throughout the world who are seeking to hold governments accountable to reduce carbon pollution within their jurisdictions. She has developed a corresponding approach called Atmospheric Recovery Litigation which would hold fossil fuel companies responsible for funding an Atmospheric Recovery Plan to draw down excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere using natural climate solutions. Professor Wood is a frequent speaker on climate issues and has received national and international attention for her sovereign trust approach to global climate policy.

To register, for this event, go to: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0sceitpj4jGt1JEjtK1Rz9wjjpwo7P-7y1. Registration links can also be found on the websites of the sponsoring organizations, www.healthywatershed.org or www.oregonshores.org.

Rally THURSDAY to Protest Industrial Forestry Practices!

Rally to Protest Industrial Forestry Practices: Seaside and Portland – Thursday, October 6, 2022 at 3:30 P.M.

Please join North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection Thursday, October 6, 2022 for a peaceful rally against Wall St. corporation-backed, destructive timber industry practices!

WHERE and WHEN:

On the coast – 3:30 p.m. at the Big Orange Chair (Hwy 101 and Broadway) at the Seaside Visitor’s Bureau

In Portland – 3:30 P.M. at South Hawthorne Waterfront Park for the march to S.W. Park & Montgomery for a rally at 4:30 P.M.

WHAT TO BRING: Water, sunscreen, good walking shoes, optional signs and banners)

WHY: TIAA and other Wall St. corporations are helping to bankroll the climate crisis through their funding of deforestation and fossil fuels. We are joining forces with Sun Rise Movement PDX, and other environment organizations in the Forest Climate Alliance to take a stand against the irresponsible industrial forestry practices (clearcutting followed by pesticide spraying) that are decimating Oregon’s forested watersheds. These practices are designed with the aim of maximum profit for Wall St. corporations (like TIAA and others) and providing payouts to corporate shareholders—who are invested in Oregon timber companies, like GreenWood Resources. The price of these practices is the health of our communities, and a liveable planet for future generations.

We hope to see you there!
With Love,

NCCWP

The European green crab is considered one of the most detrimental invasive species on the planet due to cascading effects in the ecosystem that can drastically change coastal economies.

These crabs have voracious appetites and disturb the critical eelgrass habitats that salmon and Dungeness crabs rely upon.

___
as described by Jungian Analyst Jane Bacon: What is Authentic Movement?
Authentic Movement is a process of allowing inner-directed movement. It is practiced by people both with and without dance experience and at all levels of physical ability, in groups or individually. Some use it for therapeutic purposes and some as a resource for choreographic and other creative processes, others as a form of mystical practice.
The basic form is simple – a mover with eyes closed, turns attention to their experience without the input from the visual world and waits to notice and then ‘to be moved’ by internal impulses in that exist in the present moment. Then you explore these impulses—image, memory, thought, feeling or sensation—with curiosity and follow the subtle movements.
There is always a witness who sees you move. He or she waits with clear attention to you as mover and with non-judgemental awareness of the present moment. The witness also attends to their own experiences moment by moment as they are your witness. As well as noticing and attending to you moving, they also notice their own repetitions, images, habits, patterns, gestures and expressions that arise in the process of being present with the mover. This process can provide a rich resource of stories from and about the body.
