    We are planning a multi-day trip to Corvallis, Oregon in April to explore the cutting edge research at Oregon State University. We'll learn about timber research and wildfire recovery, sediment and ice cores, wave energy, and so much more. Trips to the creamery and brewery will tantalize the taste buds between tours and talks. We are also considering an optional Saturday extension trip to the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest. This would be an overnight (April 10) at forest headquarters near Blue River Reservoir, which is an additional two hours east of Corvallis.

    Right now, we are judging interest as we put together the logistics for this trip and would like to know if you are interested in the OSU campus portion of the trip in Corvallis (one overnight) or if you would also like the additional option to the Andrews Experimental Forest (two nights).

    We are still determining costs involved but will not include: Overnight accommodations (estimated ~$150/room in Corvallis; ~$50/room at HJ Andrews), Meals, and Transportation to and from Corvallis.

    If you register, you are expressing interest in attending the field trip to Oregon State University. Please choose one of the two ticket types - OSU Campus or OSU Campus + HJ Andrews Experimental Forest. Note, there is no cost to register but please serious interest only.

    More details will be sent to all registrants in the next few weeks as plans firm up.

    NSWA Book Club returns in 2026 with a slightly different format. We are still devoted to books that touch the Pacific Northwest and explore some aspect of science. We are starting the series with Drew Harvell, a marine ecologist who researches ocean biodiversity and ocean health, specializing in diseases in marine ecosystems. Her latest book The Ocean's Menagerie: How Earth's Strangest Creatures Reshape the Rules of Life takes us down into this incredible underwater realm. From Hawaii to Indonesia to the Salish Sea, we meet coral kingdoms tougher than steel, jellyfish that glow like lanterns, and sponges harboring potent cancer-fighting secrets.

    Drew will be in conversation with NSWA Vice President Lynda Mapes on Zoom.

    RSVP Today.
