Frontiers in Science Lecture Series

The Sister Science Club initiated its Frontiers in Science lecture series in 2011 for the community at large, believing that the love of scientific knowledge would attract a devoted audience. Since then, scientists and other experts have lectured on a wide variety of topics.

April's presentation is on Beaver-Human Coexistence: Past, Present, and Future. Beavers are keystone species whose ecological engineering benefits landscapes and biodiversity, especially here in the East Cascades! This talk will explore the history of beaver-human interactions, recent research on the importance of beaver-modified habitats, and innovative coexistence solutions. With new policies and funding mechanisms in place, we are at a turning point for beaver conservation in Oregon.

Join us at the Belfry in Sisters (302 E Main Ave, Sisters, OR 97759) on Tuesday, April 22, at 6:00 PM for a social hour and 7 pm for the presentation.

No RSVP required! However, they do ask for a $5 donation at the door (no one is turned away for lack of funds).
