SUMMARY:SOCAN: How Climate Change is Impacting Oregon Farmers
DESCRIPTION:Southern Oregon farmers exist on the frontlines of climate change. This is because the variables of seasonal temperature and water availability are both dominant factors influencing crop viability and success and are also the primary variables influenced by global warming and its climate change consequences. \nMaud Powell\, with OSU Extension’s Southern Oregon Office in Central Points serves as Associate Professor of Practice in the Small Farms Program. SOCAN’s October monthly general meeting at the Medford Public Library on October 29 from 6:00 – 7:30 will feature a presentation by Maud that explores the impacts of climate change on farmers and ranchers in Southern Oregon\, especially related to their mental health and emotional well-being\, and an Oregon State University Initiative\, ‘Climate Stress and Grief: Building Resilience in Farmers and Ranchers’ that is addressing these concerns. Powell will also share initial findings from qualitative research conducted with Oregon farmers.

SUMMARY:How the Climate Crises are Affecting Our Mental Health & What Can We Do About it?
DESCRIPTION:From Southern Oregon Climate Action Now: \nPresentation by Rev. Liz Olson\, M.Div. BCC (Masters of Divinity\, Board Certified Chaplain) \nThe climate chaos that surrounds us is affecting much more than the natural world\, our economy and our physical health. The changing climate and our apparent resistance to addressing it are also conspiring to affect our mental and psychological health. Rev. Liz Olson serves as a Specialty Chaplain with the in-patient Palliative Care team at Providence Medford Medical Center. With Ken Deveney\, Liz has\, for many years\, led gatherings of SOCAN’s monthly support group ‘Sustaining Climate Activists.’ \nLiz has been speaking nationally on how chaplains can play a role in supporting people and communities to cope with the psychological\, emotional and existential needs that are arising as we are experiencing the different impacts of climate crises. At the Association of Professional Chaplains annual conference in Houston\, TX\, Liz was the first chaplain to present on this topic at such a meeting. Liz was also instrumental in an online webinar produced by Chaplaincy Innovation Lab (Brandeis University) in collaboration with The BTS Center – (supporting “spiritual leadership for a climate-changed world”) \nDuring her presentation\, Liz will discuss why we should be concerned about our mental health as it pertains to climate change considering direct and indirect effects and differences among populations\, particularly people of color\, Indigenous communities and youth. During the second half of the program\, Liz will lead us through some interactive exercises that SOCAN’s support group “Sustaining Climate Activists” uses. \nSOCAN meets monthly in person with speakers on Topics related to climate change. \nThese meetings are free and open to the public. Specific details are posted monthly. \n

SUMMARY:Why We Are Beaver Believers
DESCRIPTION:Besides serving as the state animal\, and the OSU emblem\, Beavers are incredibly valuable components of our natural and managed ecosystems. This is becoming especially evident as climate change compromises water supplies across the landscape. Unfortunately\, beavers can also become a menace for some forest and agricultural operations. As a result\, they have become the subject of meaningful legislation over the last two sessions in Salem\, firstly to provide them some protection and secondly to help landowners learn how to coexist with them. \nDuring SOCCAN’s March open public meeting on Tuesday March 26th\, Jakob Shockey\, founder and Executive Director of Project Beaver will deliver a presentation on Beaver during which he will offer an introduction to the beavers\, followed by a discussion of how they build habitat resilience and water security in the face of climate change. Jakob will round out with a discussion of the challenges they face and ways folks can help. \nThe program is free and open to the public. It will run from 6:00 – 7:30 pm at the Medford Public Library\, 205 S. Central Avenue\, Medford

SUMMARY:Dirty Hands & Clean Hearts: Addressing Soil Health
DESCRIPTION:The next SOCAN General meeting will be Tuesday November 28th at the Medford Public Library from 6:00 – 7:30. Garett Long\, Agriculture Director will join us to explain what Demeter Biodynamic and Regenerative Agriculture are\, how they do it\, and how it benefits us all – plus how they hope to achieve the goal of having a much broader impact than just one vineyard. \nMore Information \nTroon Vineyard “farms like the world depends on it.” In addition to providing excellent Rogue Valley\nwines\, Troon Vineyard and Farm on Kubli Road\, Grants Pass\, is certified as practicing Demeter\nBiodynamic and Regenerative Agriculture. This is undertaken with the goal of lightening their footprint\nand maintaining a sustainable operation. \nAs they state on their website: “The recent certification follows a conversion to biodynamic farming that\nhas revitalized the estate’s soils while also providing a template for other wineries both locally and\naround the world to reduce their environmental footprint.” \nThe next SOCAN General meeting will be Tuesday November 28th at the Medford Public Library from 6:00 – 7:30. Garett Long\, Agriculture Director will join us to explain what Demeter Biodynamic and Regenerative Agriculture are\, how they do it\, and how it benefits us all – plus how they hope to achieve the goal of having a much broader impact than just one vineyard. \nGarett is a farmer and soil scientist who believes healing the planet is in parallel with healing the human\nspirit. He spent five formative years practicing biodynamic and regenerative farming at Apricot Lane\nFarms (see The Biggest Little Farm documentary) and earned his M.S. in Soils & Biogeochemistry from\nthe University of California-Davis. He co-founded Soil Life Services\, which supports producers in\nmonitoring and evaluating the impacts of agricultural management on soil carbon and other metrics of\nsoil health. He was also the Board Treasurer for the Josephine Porter Institute (2019-22). Since 2021\, he\nhas served as the Director of Agriculture at Troon Vineyard\, Oregon’s only Biodynamic and Regenerative\nOrganic Certified farm. \nHe is passionate about real\, good food\, preaching the value of soil\, and the interconnectedness of all\nlife.

SUMMARY:SOCAN: What’s Happening to our Douglas firs?
DESCRIPTION:Anyone spending time in the dryer forests of Southern Oregon will have seen the splashes of orange among the healthy green backdrop. These splashes of color portend our future; they represent Douglas firs that are expiring. As the trees die\, the needles lose the healthy green chlorophyll that drives photosynthesis and produce the familiar orange splashes that increasingly dot the skyline of our hills.Extension Forester\, OSU (retired) Max Bennett has been studying this phenomenon for some years. \nBennett will provide an account of his findings and conclusions during the next Southern Oregon Climate Action Now monthly open public meeting. The program will occur on Tuesday August 29 th at 6:00 pm at the Medford Public Library. The presentation is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Community-driven Leadership in Ashland

SUMMARY:Businesses Taking Action: SOCAN Introduces Program
DESCRIPTION:September 28th at 6:00 pm\, Southern Oregon Climate Action Now (SOCAN) will introduce their Businesses Taking Action program\, explain how it achieves its purpose\, and provide an opportunity for three recognized businesses to discuss what they are doing and why. \nThe group has coordinated a panel including OSU student Gabriela Safay who developed the program as a SOCAN Intern\, Constance Palaia from Motel del Rogue (http://moteldelrogue.com/)\, Anne Carter from the Medford Food Coop (https://medfordfood.coop/)\, and Erin Douglas from Banyan Botanicals (https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/). \nThe Zoom program is free and open to the public but attendees need to Register at https://bit.ly/Businesses-Taking-Action to receive the URL for the meeting. A video of the program will be available after the presentation on the SOCAN website. \nWhich businesses should we support? \nMany in the business community attempt to conduct their operations in line with their personal values. This can involve being responsible for environmental protection or maintaining a business climate of social justice both in terms of employees and customers. Unfortunately\, only too often\, such business behavior goes unrecognized and unappreciated.
