Jennifer Johns (Chemeketa Community College) and Megan Selvig (Opal Creek Ancient Forest Center) teamed up in 2022 to create a community science project that investigates the recovery of  six culturally relevant locations in the Opal Creek Scenic Recreation and Wilderness Areas following the 2020 Beachie Creek Fire. Four years into their data collection efforts with students, community members, and colleagues, Jennifer and Megan will share what they’ve been finding in the plant, lichen, and bird communities from areas that were severely burned to areas that were left mostly unburned. Join us for an evening with lots of photos, group activities, and hope for the future!
