SUMMARY:Zero Carbon Conference
DESCRIPTION:We are living in an unprecedented\, critical moment to take intentional and equitable action on the climate crisis. With less than a decade to achieve sustainable development goals\, collaboration is imperative to scaling our impact. We can jump-start this impact with a focus on four areas: \n\nEmbodied Carbon\nOperational Carbon\nZero for All\nFinancing the Future of Zero Carbon Communities\n\nThe Zero Carbon Conference will respond to this need and forge a collaboration of our community of architects\, designers\, engineers\, contractors\, and responsible manufacturers–along with ESG investors and developers who are taking active steps to accelerate the decarbonization of the built environment. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThrough keynotes\, plenaries\, panel sessions and 1:1 networking opportunities\, practitioners and funders will come together to advance these initiatives around operational + embodied carbon reduction\, cost-benefit analysis\, and community resources to achieve an equitable decarbonized future. The Zero Carbon Conference will deliver the technology\, the materials\, the know-how\, and the financing models needed to pave the way for scalable decarbonized global communities. \nJoin Us. Together\, We Can Scale a Zero Carbon Future for All. \n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Start building your team for People's Ecochallenge 2020!
DESCRIPTION:Dear Ecochallenger\,\n\nOur Ecochallenges have been immensely positive in our collective impact because of you and your team leadership. So we are reaching out to you again to invite you to build yet another strong and committed team for this year’s People’s Ecochallenge.\n\nWe all know what’s taking place around the world right now – to ourselves\, our neighbors\, our communities near and far. In the face of a global pandemic\, unprecedented social justice movements\, massive migrations\, resource depletions\, political and civil unrest\, and overall disruptions to our daily lives (just to name a few)\, we know how significant it is right now to contribute as much good as possible.\n\nSo this October\, join us in aligning your values with the actions you take. Focus on actions that uplift justice for every community\, or focus on actions you can take directly from your home. Challenge yourself to practice deeper sustainability and to engage in critical thinking\, so that we may all live in and share a better world.\n\nFor Team Captains\, we provide the following resources to support your team building:\n\n\n– a 30-page Team Captains Guide\n– social media graphics and print-ready collateral\n– general technical support\n\n\nWe look forward to seeing what we can accomplish together this October. For now\, let us know if you need anything else to build out your team! We will be in touch again later this month.\n\nSincerely\,\nEcochallenge.org\n\n< create your team now >

SUMMARY:Gray Family Foundation Environmental Education Program
DESCRIPTION:2021 Grant Timeline and Links\n\nOnline Application Opens: September 15\, 2020\nApplication due: November 13\, 2020 at midnight\nGrant award notification: By February 26\, 2021\n2021 Gray Family Foundation Environmental Education RFP\nStart your application on MyOCF.\n\n2021 Environmental Education Grant Program Overview\nThe Gray Family Foundation’s Environmental Education program seeks to support programs that stimulate or promote the teaching of environmental education in K-12 environments and increases outdoor experiences for youth. \nThe impact of COVID-19 has had wide-reaching effects on communities across the state of Oregon – and organizations that provide and support environmental education have been significantly impacted. We recognize the current uncertainty and that the various scenarios organizations and educators will face when connecting with youth during the next year are complex. \nThis year\, Gray Family Foundation seeks proposals that stimulate or promote the teaching of environmental education in formal and informal K-12 educational environments to increase outdoor experiences for youth – either during the school day\, as part of distance or virtual learning\, or as a service or opportunity offered to families and youth outside of the context of the school setting. Gray Family Foundation’s Environmental Education Grant Program is focused on projects/programs that benefit 3rd-8th grade youth. Gray FF will fund proposals that best demonstrate alignment with our priorities and reflect our values towards equity\, diversity\, and inclusion (EDI). \nIn 2021\, we are offering three options through our Environmental Education grant program. Gray FF is interested in reviewing proposals for a range of funding levels that best serve the specific needs of your program. During this grant cycle\, we are also especially interested in supporting opportunities for organizations\, schools\, and/or school districts to use and integrate outdoor spaces (e.g. schoolyards\, playgrounds\, nearby parks or natural areas) into student learning as a method for both engaging students and reducing risk for students and educators during the COVID-19 pandemic. \nGray FF will award funds to the strongest eligible projects regardless of project type and encourage organizations to apply for the type of funding that will best serve their efforts. Please note that applicants may apply for projects that include a combination of capacity-building\, field experiences\, and/or professional development\, but may only apply for $25\,000 max. Detailed guidance on the application process will be provided in the RFP. \nFor more information please\, Click Here.

SUMMARY:Enjoy a relaxing float down the Sandy River while collecting litter along its banks.
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a relaxing float down the Sandy River while collecting litter along its banks. This event is a one part relaxing float\, one part exciting scavenger hunt! \nAt 10am\, we’ll gather at Dabney State Recreation Area (using physical distancing) for a short introduction & safety talk. Then we’ll launch our rafts\, kayaks\, and other watercraft into the Sandy! Floaters will stop at various beaches along the river to collect litter\, sometimes working as a team\, for example\, to dig something exciting out of the sand. Who knows what you’ll find! Floaters can expect to arrive at Lewis & Clark State Recreation Area (L&C) around 3pm. \nThis year we’re introducing a Land Litter Team\, where you can participate from the comfort of your own two feet! This group will collect litter at a local recreation area. Youth between 10-17 are also very welcome and must be accompanied by an adult. See ticket options below. \nThis Floating Cleanup is the culmination of our 2nd summer of the “Stash the Trash” program\, a DIY cleanup program at 5 lower Sandy parks. These mesh garbage bags make it easy to ‘pack it out’ while you have fun in the water. \n\n\n\nThere are 4 ticket options. You can register as an ‘individual’\, or if you have multiple people in your group\, you can register as a ‘team’. \n\nReserve a paddle in a 4-6 person raft\nReserve a paddle in a 1-person inflatable kayak (limited availability)\nBYOWC (Bring Your Own Water Craft)\, i.e. you’re bringing your own water craft (kayak\, raft\, tube\, boat\, floatie!) paddle\, and personal flotation device (PPD– or life jacket– is mandatory for everyone).\nLand litter team: collect litter at a local recreation area in a more traditional land-based crew.\n\nTo minimize the potential spread of COVID-19\, participants in each raft (borrowed AND BYO) need to be in the same COVID exposure circle (or “household”). Household groups using a raft provided by Stout Creek Outfitters will float with a masked river guide (guide sits at rear as approved by OR State Marine Board Guidelines). If you have less than 4 people in your household\, please reserve a kayak paddle\, or BYOWC! Thank you for cooperating with this new logistical safety detail. \nIf you’re registering for more than one person\, Click the “Tickets” button\, then choose\, “I want to get tickets as a team member” & make up a team name (or join an existing team). In the order form\, you will be prompted to add your guests’ names & ages. \n\n\n\nSuggested donation: $3-50 per person. Your donation gets you a free parking pass at Dabney! Any additional funds donated support this event and the ongoing operations of the Sandy River Watershed Council. \nMoney or credit-card access shouldn’t be a barrier to participating: contact Katelyn at katelyn@sandyriver.org for sliding scale or card-free options or any other questions. \n\n\n\nBig thank you to our funder\, the City of Troutdale\, and to our partners: Oregon State Parks\, SOLVE\, & Stout Creek Outfitters. \nWe look forward to seeing you on the river! \nRegistration Details Here.
