The group first formed in March 2025 following an increased awareness that dark skies are a shared natural resource in need of protection for generations to come.\n\nOur “Stargazing” program at Wooldridge Creek Winery will commence with an after-hour gate opening at 6:30 PM to gather and mingle with beverages available for purchase. At 7PM\, Liz Shen (a founding member of AAD) will offer a presentation about the broader dark sky movement and how our local group is hoping to help others learn why and how to preserve our night sky. As the sun sets and the night sky takes over\, Sam Dennis (another founding member of the group) will guide participants in using their binoculars to view interesting celestial features from the sliver of our moon to planets and galaxies and star clusters and more!\n\n\n\nAll are welcome and the event is free. If the skies are not clear\, we will postpone the event. Look for updates closer to the date.

This session will introduce what we mean by “natural” or “biobased” construction\, grounding the conversation in materials sourced from renewable\, plant-based systems that actively store carbon rather than emit it. We’ll explore the practical benefits of these materials\, from improved indoor air quality to long-term carbon sequestration\, and examine how they compare to conventional “green building” approaches that often reduce harm\, but stop short of reversing it. \nImportantly\, this event will also address one of the most pressing concerns in our region: fire resilience. Through real-world case studies\, we’ll highlight how certain natural wall systems perform under fire conditions\, challenging common assumptions and offering pathways toward safer\, more climate-aligned construction. Alongside performance\, we’ll showcase the wide aesthetic range these materials can achieve—demonstrating that sustainability does not require compromise in design. Whether you’re a builder\, designer\, policymaker\, or community member\, this conversation connects practical solutions with the broader goal of transforming how—and why—we build. \nSOCAN’s General Meeting is a free\, public gathering focused on building climate understanding\, resilience\, and action in Southern Oregon. Held on the last Tuesday of each month at the local library\, these meetings bring community members together to explore timely climate topics\, learn from informed perspectives\, and engage in meaningful discussion. The goal is to create an accessible space where complex issues can be examined clearly and collectively. \n*This meeting is not sponsored nor endorsed by Jackson County Library Services URL:https://applegateconnect.org/events/building-for-a-resilient-future-how-to-build-carbon-negative-housing-socan-april-monthly-mtg/ LOCATION:Medford Public Library\, 205 South Central\, Medford CATEGORIES:Education,Environment / Nature ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://applegateconnect.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/april-genmtg.png ORGANIZER;CN="Southern Oregon Climate Action Now":MAILTO:info@socan.eco END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260429T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260429T200000 DTSTAMP:20260514T090957 CREATED:20260220T003743Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260220T003743Z UID:10012980-1777485600-1777492800@applegateconnect.org SUMMARY:Ruch Community Wildfire Protection Plan Meeting - Round 3 DESCRIPTION:Join us for the last of three public meetings in Ruch to talk about the Applegate Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP).
