SUMMARY:Beyond the Scrub: New Attention on Oregon White Oaks and Why They Matter
DESCRIPTION:Sense of Place presents Lindsay Cornelius\, East Cascades Oak Partnership Manager at the Columbia Land Trust \nOregon white oak trees seem abundant\, almost weedy in the gorge. They are the least showy of our native hardwoods and often look as though they are falling apart. So why in 2020 did a diverse group of stakeholders\, band together for a closer look at these native trees? Why are oaks being called a lifeboat? A safe-zone for species trying to survive the subtle (and not so subtle) changes that are accompanying our changing climate?And how might new efforts to conserve and restore oak woodlands in the Gorge impact our landscapes\, people\, and even economy? Join Lindsay Cornelius\, Manager of the East Cascades Oak Partnership\, to learn why oaks make such excellent neighbors in a place prone to drought\, fires\, heat\, and wind. And explore how these sometimes decrepit-looking trees are actually supporting vibrant life – more so than any other tree species in the Gorge.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDate: March 12\, 2025 at 7 pm\nLocation:  Columbia Center for the Arts\, 215 Cascade Ave\, Hood River\, OR 97031 \nGet Tickets
