Old Growth and Birds, Mason Bees And Snorkel Survey

Thu, Oct 25, 2018

Master gardener Ron Spendal has taken it on himself to learn more about mason bees, a native pollinator and backyard favorite. Every year, volunteers snorkel Northern California's entire Salmon River Watershed to count, and hopefully protect, its spring Chinook. And scientists are finding that certain songbirds are thriving in Oregon's old growth forests, even as they're declining in numbers elsewhere.

Thu, Nov 15, 2018

Ghost towns, planes with trees growing through them...and a cult of followers who share all that is Abandoned Oregon. One of the most beautiful and sought-after maps of the United States was designed by a man who sees maps as art. And he lives right here in Oregon. Canadian lynx, huckleberries, even spring chinook salmon - many species have adapted to wildfire and depend on it for their survival.

Tide Pooling, WAAAM Museum, Tilly Jane

Thu, Feb 28, 2019

Tide Pooling with Jane Lubchenco: We tag along the OSU distinguished professor and former NOAA chief as she explores the tide pools of the central Oregon coast with her family. The multi-generational outing allows Jane to lead her grandchildren through a hands-on investigation of the clever strategies these tenacious and beautiful lifeforms use to thrive in a harsh environment, as well as reflect on the future health of our oceans. WAAAM Museum: We take to the road and sky in a bygone way, thanks to the volunteers of the Western Antique Areoplane and Automobile Museum in Hood River, Ore. Tilly Jane: Some mountain getaways are sought out for seclusion, but the historic Tilly Jane A-frame on Mount Hood is designed to bring people together.
