SUMMARY:Conservation Club: Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) Trapping Workshop
DESCRIPTION:We are having intermittent problems with our RSVP system.  If you can not RSVP with the the link above\, please contact amy.zimmer@marionswcd.net.  Thank you for your interest in conservation!\n\n\nEmerald Ash Borer (EAB)\, an invasive beetle that kills ash trees\, has been detected in Oregon and poses a serious threat to our native Oregon ash and the streamside habitat they support. Early detection is critical to slowing its spread and protecting these important ecosystems. \nJoin Marion Soil and Water Conservation District for a hands-on workshop focused on Emerald Ash Borer detection and community monitoring. Participants will receive a brief overview of EAB\, learn how to recognize signs of an EAB infestation\, and hear updates on local trapping efforts underway in Marion County. Attendees will practice setting an EAB trap and receive one to take home and install on their property\, helping expand our local monitoring network and support early detection of this invasive pest. \nThis workshop is especially intended for landowners and land managers with streamside areas\, natural areas\, or mixed woodlands that contain Oregon ash trees. If you steward property where ash trees are present\, your participation can play an important role in early detection and community preparedness. \nSpace is limited to 20 participants due to trap availability\, as each participant will receive a trap to install and monitor on their property. \nThis workshop is part of an Emerald ash borer (EAB) series aimed at preparing landowners for the anticipated impacts of the invasive EAB beetle on Oregon’s native ash trees. Please stay tuned to the Marion SWCD events page for upcoming emerald ash borer virtual presentations and in-person workshops designed to help landowners prepare their property. Upcoming topics include understory preparation\, invasive weed control\, native planting and propagation demonstrations\, and more. \nIf you have questions about this event or if you need special accommodations to participate\, please contact the event coordinators\, Chelsea Blank\, Natural Areas Conservation Planner\, Chelsea.Blank@marionswcd.net  or Sarah Hamilton\, Native and Invasive Plant Specialist at Sarah.Hamilton@marionswcd.net.

SUMMARY:Riparian Restoration for Working Lands Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join Marion Soil and Water Conservation District for a practical\, farmer-focused workshop exploring how streamside (riparian) restoration can work with your operation — not against it. This event is designed for farmers and landowners near streams who are interested in supporting the long-term productivity of their land while improving water quality and enhancing habitat. \nA guest speaker will share examples of what restoration can look like in an agricultural setting\, offering insights on balancing conservation with working lands. Marion SWCD staff will also share recent water quality findings from the Strategic Implementation Area (SIA) to provide local context – especially for those near Howell Prairie Creek. \nAt this workshop\, you can: \n\nConnect with neighboring farmers and local landowners\nLearn practical\, on-the-ground approaches to streamside restoration\nExplore ways to stabilize banks and reduce flood impacts\nExplore funding and technical assistance opportunities\nTalk one-on-one with SWCD staff about your land and project ideas\n\nNo pressure and no compliance – just a chance to get useful information\, ask questions\, and see what might work for your operation. \nCome by\, grab a snack and a cup of coffee\, and join the conversation. \nJoin us starting at 8:30 AM when doors open. The event will take place from 9:00–10:00 AM\, and the venue will close at 11:00 AM. \n\nIf you have questions about this event\, need special accommodations to participate or are interested in riparian restoration for working lands\, please contact the event coordinators and district agricultural conservation planners\, Becky Pineda – Pasture and Livestock at becky.pineda@marionswcd.net \, 503-949-1518\, or Cesar Zamora – Soil and Croplands\, at cesar.zamora@marinoswcd.net\, 971-372-1341.
