There will be pizza from the Barview Jetty Store and our gracious host will provide beverages. Feel free to bring a chair and or a nibble to share. Chris Farrar\, geologist/hydrologist from Astoria\, will give a brief\, relatively informal presentation focusing on forest hydrology and how the clear cutting of watersheds have an impact on water availability and quality. Chris has recently guided two hikes into the Jetty Creek Watershed.\n\n\n\n\n\nWe will also hear about the successful launch of the Astoria chapter of the NCCWP\, updated petition numbers\, upcoming events (including the Who Will Own the Forest rally)\, and a recap of the Rockaway Beach City Council meeting’s discussion of our watershed. We will give an update on our Peachland press release.

SUMMARY:Free Webinar with Professor Younes Alila:  "Our Losing Battle with Nature-- Transition or Destiny."
DESCRIPTION:free webinar by Professor Younes Alila of the University of British Columbia Forestry Department: “Our Losing Battle with Nature– Transition or Destiny.” May 30\, 2023 | 12:00 P.M.-1:00 P.M.   [Register Now].  \nProfessor Alila will be one of our featured speakers later this year\, so this is a great chance to glimpse a preview. Here’s the blurb: “Climate change has elevated the risk of extreme weather the world over. In British Columbia\, a natural flood risk mitigator lies all around us in the water-absorbing power of trees. In fact\, research has shown that even a modest loss of forest cover due to wildfire\, logging and disease can cause surprisingly large increases in the frequency of extreme floods. Will dykes\, dams and levees be enough to protect against property loss and devastation from floods in the future? How can nature-based solutions\, such as forests\, and the restoration of natural floodplains and wetlands contribute to flood mitigation? What considerations need to be taken as BC develops its flood risk management strategy?” \n“We have also identified another speaker Herb Hammond. Herb is a retired forester and the voice you’ll hear in this 4-minute video about the Peachland watershed\, which bears an eerie resemblance to Jetty Creek.”  Herb  wrote  “I have spent decades working to protect watersheds\, with much of my focus being on watersheds used for consumptive use.  However\, the principles that govern forest hydrology and what is needed to protect water apply to any watershed.”

SUMMARY:Two Simultaneous Rallies to Protest Industrial Forestry Practices
DESCRIPTION:Two Simultaneous Rallies to Protest Industrial Forestry Practices: Seaside and Portland \n                                                       Time: Thursday\, October 6\, 2022 at 3:30 P.M. \n\nJoin North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection on Thursday\, October 6\, 2022\, to take action against TIAA (and other Wall St. corporations invested in timber corporations) for their destructive practices and hypocrisy! You can join us in Seaside at 3:30 P.M. at the Big Orange Chair (Hwy 101 and Broadway) Seaside Visitors Bureau or in Portland at 3:30 P.M. at South Hawthorne Waterfront Park for the march to S.W. Park & Montgomery for a rally at 4:30 P.M. \nNCCWP will be rallying with Sun Rise Movement PDX\, and other environment organizations in the Forest Climate Alliance. These rallies will be against the irresponsible industrial forestry practices (clearcutting followed by pesticide spraying) that are decimating Oregon watersheds\, practices which are driven by the need to enrich shareholders who are invested in corporations such as TIAA that are\, in turn\, invested in timber corporations such as GreenWood Resources.  (in the Pacific Northwest\, land owned by GreenWood has the name Lewis & Clark Timberlands.) \nTIAA and other Wall St. corporations are helping to bankroll the climate crisis through their funding of deforestation and fossil fuels. TIAA\, a massive pension fund for teachers and those in the academic\, research\, medical\, cultural\, and governmental fields\, owns Nuveen Natural Capital (a land-focused asset management platform). GreenWood Resources\, an international timber corporation\, is a part of Nuveen. In other words\, TIAA\, Nuveen\, and GreenWood Resources are involved in industrial forestry in Oregon and around the world\, clearcutting the carbon-rich forests that are our best natural solution to the climate crisis. TIAA\, Nuveen\, and GreenWood are helping to drive the climate crisis by land acquisition used for industrial forestry in the Pacific Northwest\, as well as elsewhere in North America\, plus Latin America\, Europe\, and Asia. These practices are contrary to the wishes of many individuals who are invested in TIAA\, and even contrary to TIAA’s own rhetoric. Join us on October 6th to take action against TIAA for their destructive practices and hypocrisy! \nContact us at: rockawaycitizen.water@gmail.     Host info@sunrisepdx.org.

SUMMARY:The Truth About the Economics of Logging
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to host an upcoming talk with economist Ernie Niemi who\, for 40 years\, has documented the external costs of timber production in the Pacific Northwest. Niemi’s work has had a special focus on timber workers\, their families and their communities. He will speak with NCCWP about the realities of the economics of the logging industry as it currently stands\, and realistic economic ways forward for our community that are not extractive and destructive. \nNeimi will explain why logging is no longer an economic growth factor for our communities—in fact it actually jeopardizes the real economic drivers on the coast\, which are quality of life and recreation in our beautiful forests\, beaches and rivers. Niemi’s talk will address the need for economic considerations of climate change and the biodiversity crisis\, and provide tips for speaking up about the value of our forests. \n\nSign-up HERE <<

SUMMARY:Is Your Drinking Water Safe?
DESCRIPTION:Join North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection’s Upcoming Meeting\n\n\n\n\nMay 9th\, 5:30 to 6:30\n> > REGISTER HERE < < \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n> > REGISTER HERE < < \nAt the meeting\, we will: \n\nUpdate you on our efforts\nOffer a workshop that will teach you mapping tools\nYou’ll find out exactly where your water comes from\nEmpower yourself with tools to track clear-cuts and pesticide sprays in your area\n\nWe’ll also discuss upcoming volunteer opportunities and direct actions you can take to protect our forests and watersheds. \nWe look forward to seeing you there! Sign up here. \nAn exciting upswell of momentum is building around Oregon’s forests and drinking watersheds right now. It’s the perfect time to reinvigorate our shared efforts to safeguard and restore our drinking water sources. \n\n\n\n\nOur goal is to bring attention to the evolving coastal drinking water crisis—quality and quantity—resulting from corporate logging and pesticide spraying practices\, and aspects of climate change (heat domes and the drought\, for example). \nBy law\, all water in Oregon is publicly owned\, regardless of who actually owns the land. All watersheds that supply wells\, spring boxes\, or municipal systems should be legislatively protected. As a matter of law\, and in recognition of the necessity of clean and safe drinking water for all\, there should be no more logging nor pesticide spraying in drinking water sources. \nWe are advocating for the critical need to prioritize DRINKING WATER FIRST! \nNorth Coast Communities for Watershed Protection (formerly Rockaway Beach Citizens for Watershed Protection) is a grassroots group working\, through education and advocacy\, for better protections of the water we drink\, the air we breathe\, and the forests that sustain us.  \nContact us at: rockawaycitizen.water@gmail.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
