The January meeting has been moved up to THIS Monday!

The January meeting has been moved up to THIS Monday!

Lake_Erie_Steelhead

Due to the conflict with the Ducks in the National Championship game on the 12th, we’re moving the meeting up to Monday, the 5th (That’s this Monday as in, two days from now).

We apologize for the change, but we don’t think many (if any) people will want to show up at the January TU meeting in the middle of the Ducks National Championship game.

The general meeting will be held at Izzy’s Pizza, 1930 Mohawk Boulevard in Springfield. at 7:00pm.

We also decided that since some people have had trouble making the board meeting at 6:00, we would move the board meeting to after the general meeting. So we’ll convene the board meeting around 15 minutes after the general meeting ends. As always, TU members are all welcome to attend the board meeting.

So to review:

  • We have a new location at Izzy’s Pizza in Springfield
  • The meeting has been moved up to January 5th (day after tomorrow).
  • The board meeting will take place after the general meeting.

Again, we apologize for switching things around on you. Our goal is to settle on a location and meeting day and stick to it. We’ll make some time to hear from you at this meeting and in future meetings, so if you have any questions, suggestions, comments or you just like to hear yourself talk, come out and speak up.

Hatchery vs. Wild Salmonid Symposium

Hatchery vs. Wild Salmonid Symposium

The Oregon Chapter of the American Fisheries Society is holding a symposium on hatchery vs. wild salmon.

From the site:

“One of the most controversial and hot topics in fisheries biology today is the interaction between hatchery and wild salmon and steelhead. To address and better understand these interactions, fisheries managers and researchers are reevaluating how hatchery programs are managed and if these programs may be contributing to the decline in wild populations. However, hatcheries across the Pacific Northwest continue to play a vital role in producing fish that support recreational, commercial, and tribal harvest and are used to mitigate anthropogenic impacts to fish populations.”

Damnation film screening

Damnation film screening

Western Environmental Law Center and Save Our Wild Salmon with sponsorship from Mountain Rose Herbs is hosting a screening of the film ‘Damnation’ here in Eugene. It will be Thursday, June 19 at Bijou Art Cinema (492 East 13th) at 7:00pm. I have been looking froward to seeing this film, as I’m sure many of our members also have. If you’re not familiar, it’s a film about the growing need and push for dam removal to restore wild fish runs and the ecosystems affected. View the trailer here: http://damnationfilm.com.
