Sailing the Sagebrush Sea

Stretching hundreds of miles east from Central Oregon, this expanse of sagebrush desert is home to thousands of species of plants and animals, stores vast amounts of below-ground carbon, and intertwines deeply with multiple cultures and economies. Join the Deschutes Land Trust and Anya Tyson for a talk on the unsung majesty and magic found in sagebrush desert. Anya will also dive into the trends, challenges, and opportunities that shape this region’s future.

 

The Land Trust is working to make our events as accessible as possible. This event will feature:

  • A free livestream option. Registration is required.
  • An ASL interpreter.
  • Accessible parking, a ramped entrance, wheelchair seating, restrooms, water fountains, and assisted listening devices at the Tower Theatre. Learn more.
  • Please let us know at least one week in advance if there is something we can do or provide to support you in participating in this event to the fullest and we will accommodate as possible.

About Anya Tyson

Originally hailing from the tangled green forests of the Oregon coast, Anya Tyson now delivers science and strategy across eastern Oregon’s arid and alluring sagebrush steppe. In her work with rural communities and federal land managers, Anya operates from an understanding that durable conservation outcomes must be sourced from and shaped by the people whose lives, livelihoods, and cultures are intertwined with the landscape. She studied conservation ecology and communications with the Field Naturalist graduate program at the University of Vermont. Earlier in her career, Anya led several volunteer-driven data collection efforts involving bigleaf maples, loons, and Clark’s nutcrackers, and also traipsed along as a sidekick in a documentary about mule deer migration. In addition to long-haul adventures, Anya enjoys playing sing-a-longs on accordion, ukulele, and harmonica.
