American Hiking Society Volunteer Vacation in Douglas County, Oregon
Crew will make improvements along the 1.2-mile long Susan Creek Falls and Wolf Creek Falls trails. Work will include the clearing of trees and brush, rehabilitation of user-created trails, fence repair and the replacement of old railroad ties with new ones. If you are tired of a cold, snowy winter come to the mild climate of Southern Oregon and experience working in an Oregon rain forest. The area where we will be working is heavily forested trails at approximately 1000' elevation. These beautiful trails meander through 150' tall Douglas-Fir, fragrant Western Red-Cedars, dripping, moss-covered rocks and peaceful Susan and Wolf Creeks culminating at gorgeous 50' and 75' waterfalls respectively. Volunteers will be camping at Susan Creek campground nestled among old-growth firs along the bank of the Wild and Scenic North Umpqua River. If you like to play after the work day is over, try hiking or biking along the 79-mile long North Umpqua Trail, kayaking on Class III and IV rapids, or fishing for salmon and steelhead on the North Umpqua River. Improved tent site is provided. Volunteers must provide their own tent. Food is not provided. Airport pickup provided at the Eugene Airport. Call Erik Taylor at 541-464-3271 for more info on this event hosted with the American Hiking Society.

A self-sustained cycling tour for youth and adults with a focus on wild edibles and wilderness survival skills.
The bicycle is capable of transporting us into new and inspiring landscapes and communities much the same as the ancient skills of wilderness survival are capable of transporting us into our primal human past and connecting us to the rich communities of our plant and animal relatives. Join us as we venture upon two wheels from the urban to the rural exploring the magic of wild edible and medicinal plants, friction fire making, shelter building, tracking, stalking, awareness and of course, bikes!
$95, Group Tuition (for 2 or more) $85 per participant

Using plant specimens as subjects, professional scientific illustrator Lynn Kitagawa will encourage participants to exercise observational skills in the understanding of botanical forms during this two-day workshop. The creation of an accurate pencil drawing will lead to a finished pen-and-ink illustration. We will use a flexible-nib pen, emphasizing line quality to create a descriptive and aesthetic illustration. Class format will be lecture, demonstrations and supervised drawing sessions. If time permits, we will discuss other techniques (color pencil, plastic pencil, watercolor) and issues of reproduction.
$125 ($100 for BBG members) Space is limited.

Beginning drawing skills are recommended; no prior knowledge of botany is needed. Supplies provided.

Douglas County Earth Day Celebration - http://www.co.douglas.or.us/recycle/earthday06.htm
BLM, Roseburg District will participate. Call Joe Ross at 541-440-4930 to assist. The Bureau of Land Management will have a large, interactive display at the Douglas County Earth Day and Energy Fair in Roseburg, Oregon to allow 3,500 participants to gain appreciation for energy sources (solar, hydro, nuclear, wind, oil, gas, coal, etc.), importance of public lands in meeting energy needs, and greater understanding of energy use around the world. Spinning a large game wheel, a child would "select" a country ranging from Ethiopia (with 26 kilowatt hours per person per year of electricity use) up to Iceland with nearly 27,000 kwH used per person. After discussion about geography, resources, and energy use there, the participant picks weighted boxes representing appliances and their relative energy consumption. BLM staff weigh the selected boxes to see how close a person would come to the average energy use in that country. Throughout the day, energy conservation was emphasized as everyone's responsibility. BLM's Roseburg District will also give away tons of posters, reprints from "Science and Children," and information about volunteerism.
