Virtual Presentation: The Role of Red Alder in the Oregon Coast Range w/ Andrew Bluhm, OSU

On March 10th, 2022 Andrew Bluhm, OSU’s Associate Program Director of the Hardwood Silviculture Cooperative will provide new insight into a common tree in the Nehalem Watershed, the Red Alder. This presentation will introduce the characteristics of red alder and summarize the ecological role that red alder plays in the Oregon Coast Range. We’ll look at how red alder fits into the big picture of PNW ecosystems then examine the red alder’s effect on diversity, site productivity, community resiliency, and ecosystem function. Specific emphasis will be placed on the function red alder has in riparian systems and its influence on riparian communities.

In addition to a B.S. in Forestry from the University of Minnesota and an M.S. in Forest Ecology/Silviculture from the University of Georgia, Andrew has spent the last 20 years at OSU as the Associate Program Director of the Hardwood Silviculture Cooperative- focusing on the biology and management of red alder. Other research projects at OSU have included directing the red alder management program for the OSU College Forests, managing a long-term study on alternative silvicultural practices, installing and measuring a Swiss Needle Cast research plot network, and coordinating the PNW Permanent Sample Plot network. His main duties include everything from education and outreach, data collection to growth and yield modeling and everything in between. In his free time, he enjoys exploring PNW old-growth forests in pursuit of big trees.

Andrew is an expert on this foundational tree in our watershed and will have a wealth of information to share with us. Hopefully, everyone will walk away from this talk with a new appreciation for Red Alders and the roles they play in the Nehalem.

The talk will be on March 10th at 7 pm, hosted on Zoom, and is free to the public. The zoom link is us02web.zoom.us/j/86320883649 or on the Faceboook event at www.facebook.com/lnwc1. You can also contact the watershed council at lnwc@nehalemtel.net. A recording of this presentation will also be posted on the LNWC’s YouTube channel with our other recorded presentations. Just search for “Lower Nehalem Watershed Council” on YouTube.

Stay posted for the Lower Nehalem Watershed’s Speaker Series other great talks coming up:

Writers Read Celebration Explores ‘Recovery’ on March 5
In an era when the word “recovery” is on the minds of many people, the word manifests itself in myriad ways.
For 11 writers selected to read during the Cannon Beach Library’s Writers Read Celebration, “recovery” ranges from life after Covid to tending to an ailing bird. Recovery also means a light-splashed winter day, finding the path after being lost on a trail, discovering an old swimming hole or relearning to garden as a cyborg.
The Celebration begins at 7 p.m. Saturday, March 5 on Facebook Live. Viewers don’t have to be Facebook members. To access the program, go to the library’s website at www.cannonbeachlibrary.org and click on the banner at the top of the page. The event can also be reached by going to the library’s Facebook page.
Last year, the Writers Read Celebration reached more than 1,300 viewers.
This is the fourth year the Cannon Beach Library has hosted the Writers Read Celebration. Sixteen pieces to be read include poems, essays, a rap and a “shuffle” poem, where individual lines are written and shuffled to create different poems.
From November through January, the Cannon Beach Library’s NW Authors Series Committee asked writers to submit entries on the theme, “Recovery?” to be read at the Writers Read Celebration. The pieces were to be no longer than 600 words.
A five-member panel selected 16 pieces from 45 entries without knowing who wrote them. The writers range from Camas, Washington to Wheeler, Oregon and include several from Clatsop and Tillamook counties. The writers who will read their works are:
• Scott T. Starbuck, Battle Ground, Washington: poem, “Slim’s Tree”
• Bill Graffius, Gearhart: poems, “The Cyborg Gardener,” “Deciding Factor”
• Steven Mayer, Cannon Beach: essay, “On Recovery”
• Phyllis Mannan, Manzanita: story, “Holes” and poem, “Poem with a Line from Lao Tzu”
• John Ciminello, Naselle, Washington: poems, “The Douser,” “Back to the Beginning”
• Karen Keltz, Tillamook: poems, “Another Kind of Resilience,” “Realm of Possibility”
• Emily Ransdell, Camas, Washington: poems, “Consider the Blackberry,” “Our Pandemic Year”
• Jennifer Nightingale, Astoria: poem, “Everything Changed”
• Kristen Nekovar, Astoria: rap poem, “Pill Bug”
• L Swartz, Wheeler: shuffle poem, “Hunger, edges, falling”
• Adria Bagadnani, Manzanita: poem, “Bird”

Hello,

I am excited to share our Spring class, which is in partnership with the Lower Nehalem Community Trust, connecting through craft + nature + land stewardship.

English Ivy Basketry w/ Chloë Hight
Saturday, April 2nd, 12-4:00
Alder Creek Farm

In this class students will have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of English Ivy (Hedera Helix), as a basket weaving material. English Ivy is an aggressively growing evergreen vine and introduced species that is well-adapted to the mild Pacific Northwest climate, creating “ivy deserts” that challenge native habitat and ecosystems. Chloë Hight will teach students how to safely harvest and prepare this versatile vine to create cordage and a small woven vessel. The Lower Nehalem Community Trust will be leading a land stewardship session Friday April 1, from 10-noon to clear an area of English Ivy that will be repurposed as a creative material for this class to learn foundational weaving techniques.
Chloë first learned these techniques from her mentors Sharon Kallis and Rebecca Graham at EartHand Gleaners Society in Vancouver, BC and has continued to deepen her knowledge through classes led by Peter Michael Bauer with Rewild Portland in Portland, OR.

This class will be offered to 15 ppl- vaccinated only please.
Please register or ask questions by contacting Amy: amykcarleton@gmail.com | 503.407.7259

Looking forward to sharing this experience with you!

Warmly,

The Hoffman Center for the Arts is pleased to announce the third series of the Virtual Watercolor Studio. We meet once a month over Zoom, where we explore a new topic and spend time painting together, growing in our skills and love of watercolor.
In the third series, we will explore four of the most common and well-known types of painting genres. We will begin with Still Life in March, and in April we’ll look at Landscape painting. Figure painting will be our topic in May, and finally, we will try our hand at Abstract painting at the June session. Another four-month series will follow when this one ends.

Our Virtual Watercolor Studio will be on the first Wednesday afternoon of each month. We will spend some time learning about the month’s theme, perhaps have an exercise to try, and then spend the rest of the time painting. Individual attention and help will be given to each student, as well as demos for you to observe.
All registered participants will receive access to this series at Hoff-Online where handouts, homework, recorded Zoom sessions, and other information are uploaded throughout the months. It includes an online forum, which allows postings of work either in progress or finished, with input from the instructor and feedback from other students.

We look forward to building a watercolor community and improving our skills as the months go along. There is still time to register for this series. Follow this link for more information or to register: hoffmanarts.org/events/virtual-watercolor-studio-a-monthly-exploration-series-3/
