Happy Holidays! (No program in December)
2023-12-19 19:00 - 20:00

Climate conversation with Brigit Farley – Environmental history as a foundation for the climate change era.
2024-05-21 19:00 - 20:00
Brigit will provide a mini-history of the environmental movement (perhaps including a survey of environmental legislation of the late ‘60s and the 1970s) and how it built a foundation for the climate change effort beginning in the 1990s. Will likely also include a discussion of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring and its influence on the environmental movement.

Climate conversation with Don Hartley – Local forest restoration practices and their implications for climate change.
2024-06-18 19:00 - 20:00
Don and his wife Karen are restoration ecologists living in Pendleton. They have a thousand acres of forest land in the Blues, and a thousand acres of dryland wheat ground near Adams. They have done extensive restoration work on the mountain ground, and they also have a 58-acre wheat field in organic production. Don’s program will feature their restoration practices on the forested property.

Climate conversation with Daniel Hancock – Residential and commercial solar options, including IRA grants for solar.
2024-07-16 19:00 - 20:00
Dan is involved with renewable energy project development and finance. He has been working in that industry for the last 15+ years – from private Islands in the Caribbean to Indian Reservations in California. He works for a company called StraightUp Solar. He and his employer often work on community solar projects – they have a $14M community solar project going now in Illinois that will be almost 4 years from start of development to energization. Dan will discuss residential solar, community solar (current emphasis for Pendleton, for example) and how the new IRA grants factor into the equation.
