Join us on Thursday, April 4th, 2024 at 4p.m. at Pine Meadow Ranch for a performance and residence talk followed by a discussion.

Join two spirit Tongva descendant, Lindsey Danae Perez, for a powerful two part cultural presentation including a live ancestral hand drumming and singing performance followed by a reading of 'Toypurina', a self published non fiction comic zine created in honor of one of their direct matriarcal ancestors.

Followed by Megan Wiessner, who will share findings from her three-year research journey spanning British Columbia to Central Oregon, exploring the impact of mass timber in diverse settings – from urban condos and fabrication shops to Tribal lands and old mill towns. Addressing the nexus of urban sustainability and rural forestry concerns, mass timber holds promise in reconciling low-carbon construction needs with economic viability. Weissner's presentation delves into the industry's practical implications for communities, questioning whether it carries forward the legacy of traditional resource economies or pioneers a sustainable future. Can mass timber live up to its promises? Weissner's research provides key insights into this pivotal question.

This event is free and open to the public. Spaces are limited so registration is required.
