Upcoming Presentation

February 10, 2026

Our next presentation will be at noon on Tuesday, February 10.  We will host Dr. Aaron Anderson. Aaron has a PhD from Oregon State University.  His  presentation will be “How to Conserve Invertebrates at Home”.

Speaker:  Dr. Aaron Anderson

Aaron Anderson works with the public and Xerces staff to reduce pesticide use in residential landscapes, including promoting alternative pest control measures and pollinator-friendly gardening practices. Prior to joining Xerces in 2022, he researched pollinator conservation in urban landscapes, restored habitat for several endangered butterfly species, and worked in insect biocontrol. Aaron has a PhD from Oregon State University

Presentation:  Oregon Climate: Trends and Projections

Pollinators face growing threats from habitat loss, climate change, and pesticide exposure.  Unfortunately, our towns and cities are not immune — urban expansion fragments habitat, and plants, soil, and waterways are often contaminated with pesticides.  How can we best address these risks to the bees, butterflies, and other insects that live in our urban green spaces? In this talk, join Aaron Anderson from the Xerces Society to learn about recent Xerces studies investigating pesticide residues in residential areas. We’ll discuss our results, why the choices we make in our residential landscapes matter, and how we can all work to help conserve these species.

One PDH will be granted for virtual attendance at this presentation.
