With the heat wave in Corvallis set to break tomorrow, the rest of this week and weekend are going to be much better for being outside and soaking in some nature. We've got a concert in the arts park to benefit environmental education, a tour of Willamette National Forest to see and learn about native plants, and if you'd rather wait a little longer to venture out, a webinar on using those same plants to help pollinators.

This week in and around Corvallis, OR, you can help clean up our river by boat, hear a science talk about beavers, get your hands in the dirt restoring an Indigenous first foods area or cleaning up a native plant garden, and even watch a rehabilitated owl be released over a glass of local wine. Not bad for the first week of summer in a college town.

As the climate crisis deepens and the oceans warm, fish are moving, and those movements are already causing conflicts around the world. An international research team, led by an Oregon State professor, is trying to understand how changes in fish ranges are likely to impact economies and security in the decades ahead and avoid the next fight over fish.

My latest for the Oregon Capital Chronicle:

Spring is turning into summer here in Corvallis, Oregon, and that means nighthawks in the sky, a changing cast of wildflowers and the last few OSU science talks of the year. Plus volunteer opportunities to help clean up trails and a very cool documentary on sound at the Darkside:

This week, there are so many science and nature things to do in my little college town of Corvallis OR. If you happen to like pulling weeds and don't have enough of your own, what a week. There are at least three conservation pulling events. (Even if you don't, come out and help restore some habitat.)

Most notably, in a town known mostly for agriculture, wildlife and ecology, we have a world class physics talk tomorrow night.

This Friday in Corvallis, OR, the Northwest's biggest collection of insects and other arthropods (over 3 million specimens) is open to the public for a rare open house and guided tours.

There are also a bunch of plant-related events happening this week -- workshops, talks, etc -- but the bug tour is the highlight. That's where I'll be on Friday.
