SUMMARY:Ethical Foraging of Native Plants
DESCRIPTION:Foraging native plants offers a meaningful way to deepen our connection with the natural world\, but it also carries important responsibilities. In this presentation\, Steven Yeager will explore the principles and practices of ethical foraging\, with a focus on protecting plant populations\, preserving ecological integrity\, and relationships with the land. \nParticipants will learn how to identify opportunities for sustainable harvest\, assess the health and abundance of wild plant communities\, and minimize their impact on sensitive ecosystems. The presentation will also discuss common native species used for food\, medicine\, and craft\, along with practical guidelines for responsible collection. \nWhether you are new to foraging or an experienced herbalist\, naturalist\, or gardener\, this program will provide valuable insights for harvesting wild plants in a way that supports both people and the long-term health of the landscapes we depend upon.  \nAbout the Presenter: \nSteven Yeager was longtime instructor with the Columbines School of Botanical Studies and serves as Executive Vice President of Mountain Rose Herbs and is current President of NPSO. Drawing on decades of experience in herbal medicine\, native plants\, sustainability\, and conservation\, he is passionate about promoting responsible stewardship of wild plant populations and fostering deeper connections between people and place.

SUMMARY:Aquatic and Emergent Native Plant Establishment
DESCRIPTION:Join us to hear from Laurie Holts\, City of Eugene Ecologist\, about a novel project. From 2018 through 2021\, the City of Eugene and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife planted over 2\,000 native aquatic and emergent plants at Golden Gardens Park. Learn how this novel project experimented with different planting techniques for diverse species\, protected plants from voracious herbivores\, and played an important role in helping the Northwestern Ponds Turtle population at Golden Gardens thrive.
