A benefit screening of the documentary “UP ON THE MOUNTAIN” to benefit Consejo Hispano

Followed by a panel with the filmmakers Oliver Matthon & Michael Reis and Consejo Hispano.

Saturday, January 24th 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm at the Columbian Theater 1102 Marine Drive, Astoria, OR, 97103

$10 and up sliding scale. No-one turned away for lack of funds.
All proceeds go to Consejo Hispano consejohispano.org/

Up on the Mountain follows Southeast Asian refugees, Latino immigrants, and rural Americans on a year-round migration to harvest wild mushrooms in the American west. Working on foot in public forests, mushroom picking is an accessible path to self-employment. But despite evidence of the sustainability of the harvest, the workers who supply the restaurants of Europe, Japan, and North America are repeatedly denied access to public lands. In the observational documentary tradition, Up on the Mountain exposes race and class inequities in natural resources policies as well as the resourcefulness of disenfranchised communities.

“Highly recommended. The film is overflowing with gorgeous scenery. Does an excellent job in portraying camaraderie as well as tension among commercial mushroom harvesters, recreational mushroom harvesters, mushroom sellers, and Nation Park authorities.”
–Educational Media Reviews Online

★★★★★
“Up on the Mountain is an understated, yet beautiful tale that educates viewers about mushrooms and harsh realities of the politics surrounding the harvesting, in a subtle manner that doesn’t hit you over the head.”
–Video Librarian

“By the quality of the attachment to the characters, to their practices, and to the adversity that they face, this film sheds new light on life in the ruins of capitalism as Anna Tsing so aptly described: the repeated destruction of public forests and the conflicts between economic, regulatory, and ecological norms. And off to the side of the mushroom logistical routes, migrants, outsiders, and forest rangers orchestrate a theater of American precarity and ethnic solidarities.”
–Jury du prix Gaia, Festival International Jean Rouch

“Powerful, riveting, and aesthetically beautiful. This calls to mind the way in which our Western society largely sees nature and humanity as separate from one another. Wild mushroom harvesting offers a beacon of a different paradigm.”
–Fa-Tai Shieh, Professor, Food Studies, The New School

“Up on the Mountain is a fascinating look into the world of mushroom pickers and an unwitting portrait of the American dream. Resonating with the mycorrhizal network of the mushrooms, the filmmakers achieve to empathically reveal the complex social entanglements of mushroom hunters seeking out liberty in a fractured society. A great companion piece to Anna Tsing’s groundbreaking The Mushroom at the End of the World”.

–Jeff Silva, Filmmaker/Anthropologist, member of La fabrique des écritures ethnographiques, Marseille

“For more than three decades, we have diligently curated a list of the best documentaries each year. Meticulously chosen from our extensive collection of reviews, these titles showcase the diversity and artistic ingenuity present in this year’s documentary offerings. These top-tier documentaries of 2023 not only educate but also foster empathy, understanding, and a deeper connection to the world we inhabit.”
–Video Librarian, Best Documentaries List of 2023

“Here at Collective Eye Films, we have always gravitated to environmentally focused-documentaries. Up on the Mountain is one of those films not only for the thoughtful and beautiful way it tells this story but in the intersection of race, politics, and environmental conversation within it. Keeping true to the notion that documentary films are powerful tools for change, it strives to unearth a story that’ll make a difference.”
–Collective Eye Films

“An excellent case-study in the most classic tradition of political ecology in geography and anthropology.”
–Claude Péloquin, Environmental Geography Researcher

“Immersive, patient, and gorgeous, it supplies us with information that enhances our experience.”
–Rustin Thompson, Writer and Filmmaker

“The film posed some pointed questions about the actions and motives of the US Forest Service’s seemingly inconsistent oversight.”
–Coley Gray, Documentary Magazine

Conscious Aging and Community Connections is excited to announce
Barbara Coombs Lee, author of Finish Strong: Putting Your Priorities First at Life’s End, will lead our discussion Monday, Feb. 9, 2026, 2-4pm, at Pine Grove Community Center.

Barbara will offer straightforward information and encouragement to bravely consider what is central to the quality of our lives. She will point us toward tools to identify our values and empower us to hold open-hearted, honest conversations with loved ones. She will also talk about how to provide specific guidance to family and health care providers about our end-of-life wishes.

Sometimes physical and mental decline occur slowly over months or years. Sometimes they are the result of a sudden catastrophic event. Barbara will talk about creating documents, recording a video and preparing our loved ones to follow our wishes in a variety of situations.

Please join us for this candid conversation about supporting your future self.

Dear community,

Join us this Thursday, for a dance centered on the theme RELEASE.

Our dance is a welcoming space to shake off anything that no longer serves you, and step into the new year a little lighter.

The music will follow a natural arc – creating room for movement, play, expression, and letting go. There’s no right way to dance and nothing to figure out, just an invitation to come as you are, move freely, and enjoy being in your body in community.

We’ll close the evening with a gentle sound healing – offering a moment to settle, integrate, and land together after the dance.

For anyone who’d like to continue the reset, the Starseed Sauna will be open shortly after dance as an optional offering – a warm, grounding way to cleanse the body and welcome what’s next.

Come dance, have fun, and move into the new year with renewed vigor.

Looking forward to sharing the floor with you.

Warmly,
Neil

Calling all plant lovers!
Nehalem Bay Garden Club is changing its monthly meetings to the 4th Saturday at the White Clover Grange

Next meeting is
Jan 24 at 10am
White Clover Grange
36585 Hwy 53
Nehalem 97131
Enter at the front, right corner door

This month our guest speaker is Katja Biesanz. She is a Master Gardener who is coming to share her vast knowledge of botanical Latin which is used globally for the scientific naming and descriptions of plants. The international language provides plant identification, color or origin and helps us understand the plant’s features and characteristics. We hope you can join us for a new year of fun and learning!

The Nehalem Bay Garden Club will be 76 years young next spring! A very active group of 30 plus members is keeping this vibrant group going and the Club is always open to new members. Hopefully our new time will make the meetings available to more folks. So, if gardening is in your blood, or an interest that you would like to explore, please consider checking them out. No gardening experience is required, only an interest in learning, playing in dirt and hanging out with some pretty cool people!

The current mission of Nehalem Bay Garden Club is “To cultivate knowledge and love of gardening through educational programs and activities; to aid in the protection of the environment, native plants and wildlife; and to support public service through garden related organizations and volunteer opportunities.” The Club Objective from the 1978/79 yearbook was “To stimulate the knowledge and love for gardening, to aid in the protection of native trees, plants and birds.” So the legacy continues.

Nehalem Bay Garden Club’s big project is an annual plant sale Mother’s Day weekend. The 2026 sale will be Saturday, May 9th at the same location as the past few years at the junction of N Fork Road and Highway 53 in Nehalem. Please save the date! Going back to old roots, the 2026 sale will only be on Saturday.

The months leading up to the sale, starting in late January are busy ones, mainly starting seeds and potting up plants. Since many hands make light work, anyone interested in helping is very welcome. The Club meets nearly every week getting hands dirty and laughing a lot as the work is done. Please email barbaraandchuck@nehalemtel.net if you would like to know more about these work/play parties or about the Garden Club.

Proceeds from the annual plant sale are given to local organizations that meet the mission of the Club. We have been donating to the community for over 20 years. Since 2020 alone the Club has awarded grants totaling nearly $18,000. Grant recipients include Alder Creek Farm, Food Roots, Hoffman Garden, Tillamook Early Learning Center, Wheeler Waterfront Park and Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy. During the pandemic we wanted to help with food security and included Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church for their Senior Lunches and Food Pantry and North County Food Bank.

The 1978/79 yearbook also had a Conservation Pledge.
“I give my
Pledge as an American to save
And Faithfully to defend from Waste the natural resources of
My Country – its Forests, Waters
And Wildlife.”

Words to live by today.
