SUMMARY:Ecosystems of Care: A Solastalgia poetry and prose workshop
DESCRIPTION:Georgia Strait Alliance\n\n\nJoin GSA and RAVEN for a creative workshop exploring our relationships with place\, climate change\, grief\, belonging\, and collective care. \n\n\n\n\nWhat sustains us through times of change\, when the ground beneath our feet seems strange and unreal? \nSolastalgia describes the distress we feel when “home” doesn’t feel like home anymore\, a sense of homesickness one feels when the places we live start changing around us. \nOur lives are intricately woven into the places we inhabit\, the communities we belong to\, and the living\, breathing world around us. As climate change transforms these relationships\, how do we continue to care for one another\, foster belonging\, and build a just future together? \nJoin GSA and RAVEN for Ecosystems of Care: A Solastalgia poetry and prose workshop\, a creative workshop exploring our relationships with place\, climate change\, grief\, belonging\, and collective care. \nThrough guided writing prompts\, reflections\, and discussion\, we’ll explore how care flows between people\, place\, our more-than-human kin\, and the communities we build\, including the world we’ll leave for future generations. Together\, we’ll reflect on the relationships that sustain us\, what needs protecting and nourishing\, and how creativity can help us imagine new possibilities for our communities and the places we call home. \nNo writing experience is needed! Just bring yourself\, your curiosity\, and a willingness to reflect.

SUMMARY:Using Fluvial Geomorphology to Improve Stream Restoration and Watershed Management
DESCRIPTION:River Management Society\nStream restoration has become a catch-all phrase nationwide to describe all sorts of river management activities including flood and erosion control\, habitat enhancement and endangered species recovery\, and sediment and nutrient reduction efforts. An understanding of fluvial geomorphology can be helpful in establishing the underlying causes for stream degradation and bank erosion\, anticipating how the stream will change over time if no restoration occurs\, developing appropriate restoration strategies for the given setting\, and foreseeing how streams will respond to a proposed restoration project. In this way\, the actual needs for restoration can be documented\, restoration projects tailored for a given site\, and better restoration outcomes achieved. This course will utilize examples from around the country (and in fact the world) with particular focus on New England\, the Pacific Northwest\, and the Chesapeake Bay Watershed\, but will be of value to all\, regardless of location\, as the basic principles of fluvial geomorphology and stream restoration to be covered in the course are applicable everywhere. \nThis three-day short course (from 10am-5pm Eastern Time each day) will explore the principles of fluvial geomorphology and stream restoration in a virtual format. An optional virtual field trip of stream restoration sites in the Chesapeake Bay region and possibly other locations is also available and will include live interaction with the field trip leader. The course is designed for government officials\, environmental and engineering consultants\, non-profit watershed groups\, construction contractors\, educators and students\, and others trying to sustainably address flooding\, erosion\, habitat\, and sediment and nutrient loading issues along rivers and streams. \nWhile some quantitative methods will be introduced\, the course will focus on the underlying concepts of fluvial geomorphology that are needed to effectively apply and interpret the results of quantitative analyses used in stream restoration designs. Fluvial geomorphology is also critical for anticipating how streams respond\, both positively and negatively\, to human activities along rivers and streams\, including stream restoration projects. The short course will highlight process-based restoration practices\, which are typically more effective\, sustainable\, and cost effective than form-based practices. Whether designing stream restoration projects yourself or reviewing plans to determine their potential effectiveness\, this short course will provide you with the background and practical experience to identify the best restoration approaches for a particular setting and set of project objectives. \nThe short course will consist of visual presentations\, small group exercises\, and activities that will provide participants with practical experiences and examples to recognize unstable channel reaches in a watershed and identify the most appropriate stream restoration techniques that will best address the identified instabilities\, if present. The first day of the short course will focus on the basic concepts of fluvial geomorphology including extended discussions on stream equilibrium and channel classification. The second day will consist of hands-on activities in small breakout groups to reinforce the geomorphic concepts learned during day 1 and will provide practical experiences using resources (e.g.\, topo maps\, aerial photographs) critical for completing geomorphic assessments at the watershed scale. The final day will apply the knowledge gained to examine numerous stream restoration practices through a series of case studies (working in small groups) that will highlight the many issues that must be considered to successfully and sustainably restore rivers and streams and to anticipate potential problems even before a restoration design is complete. The optional virtual field trip will tour examples of restoration sites that will reinforce the concepts and lessons of the first three days.

SUMMARY:Getting to Know the Shoreline: A Sensory Intertidal Walk
DESCRIPTION:Georgia Strait Alliance \nOverview: A guided November nature walk exploring seasonal changes\, the sensations of the intertidal\, and our relationships with a changing coastline.\n\n\n\nAbout this event \nWhat can the shoreline teach us when we slow down and deeply listen? \nOur shorelines are always changing. Each season brings different sights\, sounds\, and rhythms to the intertidal\, from shifting tides and weather to the plants\, animals and other living things that make their homes along the coast. \nAs our climate changes\, paying attention to these everyday transformations takes on new meaning. How do we notice change in familiar places? What can seasonal rhythms teach us about the coast? And how do we apply these lessons to our lives in the climate chaos and social upheaval of our time? \nJoin nature-based facilitator Lynden Parry and kelp biologist Maisie Roy-Musor for a guided shoreline walk inviting us to explore these questions together. \nWe’ll slow down\, get curious\, and experience the shoreline through our senses. Along the way\, we’ll learn about coastal ecology\, share observations\, and make space for the memories\, feelings\, and questions that arise. \nEarly winter is an often neglected but fascinating time for the curious observer! The land and sea are alive as organisms experience new life stages guided by the change in the seasons and the beginning of the winter storms. \nWhether you’re a lifelong coastal explorer or someone who rarely finds time to visit the shore\, this is an opportunity to discover something new about a familiar place\, spend time outdoors\, and connect with others in our coastal community. \nNo prior knowledge or experience is needed. Everyone is welcome! \nWhat to expect \n– A relaxed\, guided exploration of the shoreline and intertidal ecosystem \n– Opportunities to learn about seasonal changes in coastal ecology \n– Invitations to notice the sights\, sounds\, textures\, and rhythms of the shore \n– Space to reflect on our experiences\, memories\, and emotions about changing coastal landscapes \n– Time to connect and share observations with other participants

SUMMARY:Salish Sea Trilogy: Film Screening Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:Georgia Strait Alliance \n\nJoin us for a special screening of the Salish Sea Trilogy\, featuring award-winning short films by filmmaker Jessica Plumb that explore the plight of the Southern Resident Killer Whales and the urgent need to protect their ocean home. \nAnd help us raise critical funds for our work protecting this incredible region we call home. \nFilm 1: Call of the Orcas explores the urgent effort to recover endangered Southern Resident Killer Whales of the Pacific Northwest\, inspired by one of their human champions\, researcher Ken Balcomb\, who passed away in late 2022. Balcomb’s determined survey work over nearly fifty years helped people see these orcas as individuals\, in family groups\, and led to a subspecies listing under the US Endangered Species Act. \nFilm 2: Managed to Extinction pairs indigenous visionary Jay Julius with orca scientist Dr. Deborah Giles in the Pacific Northwest\, as both work to address the shared extinction threat faced by Southern Resident Killer Whales\, and the Chinook salmon they need to survive. It is a sequel to Call of the Orcas\, exploring the potential in pairing indigenous knowledge and scientific methods. \nFilm 3: Shared Waters\, Shared Crisis\, the third film of this trilogy\, is set on the Canadian / US border and weaves three community stories\, revealing the role of habitat restoration\, traditional indigenous fishing practices and marine guardianship in the recovery of iconic species of the Salish Sea. Together these stories explore the interconnected ecosystems of the Fraser River\, its estuary and the marine waters of the Salish Sea. \nFollowing the screening\, Jessica Plumb will join GSA’s Executive Director for a conversation about the growing pressures on the Salish Sea and what they mean for the recovery of the SRWK. Together\, they’ll explore how recent legislation and approved infrastructure projects — including the Pacific Link bitumen pipeline and Delta port expansion — could affect the Salish Sea\, its sensitive marine ecosystems\, and the future of SRKW recovery.

SUMMARY:Equipment Libraries in Practice Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The Coastal Habitats Learning and Knowledge Hub\nThe Coastal Habitats Learning & Knowledge Hub is pleased to invite you to Equipment Libraries in Practice\, a webinar highlighting how equipment libraries and lending programs can support monitoring\, restoration\, and stewardship. \nThrough the Hub’s scoping interviews\, we heard that a lack of consistent access to field and technical equipment can be a major barrier to important work moving forward. This challenge is particularly pronounced for smaller organizations and community groups who lack the funding and capacity to purchase and maintain costly items. \nJoin us to hear perspectives from Atlantic Canada and Vancouver Island on how shared equipment programs work\, who they support\, and what it takes to keep them running. \nOur speakers are from three organizations involved in equipment lending: \n\nEmma Kinley\, Acting Director\, Atlantic Water Network (AWN): AWN strengthens community-based water monitoring in Atlantic Canada by creating shared learning opportunities\, offering tailored technical supports and promoting local water priorities at both regional and national scales. They also host a water monitoring Equipment Bank that serves communities across the Maritimes.\nRoxanne MacKinnon\, Executive Director\, ACAP Saint John: ACAP Saint John is a community-based\, non-profit organization encouraging communication\, partnership\, and community involvement in managing the local environment. It also hosts the New Brunswick Equipment Hub\, part of AWN’s Equipment Bank.\nNicole Frederickson\, Salmon Marine Biologist\, Island Marine Aquatic Working Group (IMAWG): IMAWG aims to support and restore First Nation fisheries comprehensively\, fostering collaboration with all Vancouver Island and Mainland Inlet communities. IMAWG also provides equipment booking opportunities for Indigenous organizations.\n\nWhether you’re curious about finding equipment to support your work or are interested in exploring a similar approach in your region\, we welcome you to join.

SUMMARY:State of Salmon 2026: How Are Wild Salmon Doing?
DESCRIPTION:Pacific Salmon Foundation\nJoin the Pacific Salmon Foundation (PSF) for a dive into our 2026 State of Salmon Report: a data-driven overview of the state and trends of all six species of Pacific salmon across British Columbia and the Yukon. \nIn this webinar\, PSF’s scientists will share the year’s key findings — where salmon are doing well\, where they are struggling\, and where action is needed. New this year is the Factors section\, which explores six human-driven factors affecting salmon abundance. We’ll introduce the report’s new Path Forward\, which outlines a vision for recovery\, and give a live demonstration of the State of Salmon platform\, followed by an audience Q&A. \nWhether you’re a longtime salmon supporter\, a conservationist\, an angler\, or simply care about the future of wild salmon\, this webinar offers a clear\, evidence-based overview of how wild Pacific salmon are faring — and what it will take to support their recovery for generations to come.

SUMMARY:North Coast KelpFest
DESCRIPTION:Pacific Coast Ocean Restoration\nNorth Coast Kelpfest! is a cultural response to an ecological crisis. Rather than approaching kelp forest decline solely as an environmental issue\, we bring together food\, art\, science\, education\, and community to reconnect people with California’s coastal ecosystems. Through shared meals\, field experiences\, lectures\, performances\, and workshops\, the festival highlights both the extraordinary biodiversity of our shoreline and the urgent challenges facing our kelp forests. \nNow in its third year\, Kelpfest! has grown into a unique gathering of tribal leaders\, commercial fishermen\, divers\, scientists\, artists\, chefs\, students\, environmental organizations\, government agencies\, and coastal communities. \nThe festival’s mission is to foster a deeper relationship with California’s coastal ecosystems and inspire long-term stewardship through culture. By bringing people into direct relationship with the species\, landscapes\, and communities that make up the kelp forest\, North Coast Kelpfest! demonstrates that conservation is not only a scientific endeavor\, but also a cultural one in which the entire community participates.
