You are invited to learn about Tarweed, a culturally and ecologically important plant that is reawakening in Corvallis/Benton County by watching this locally-important webinar.


Join over 300 people who registered for this Champinefu Lecture Series webinar to learn about why Tarweed (Madia or sawal) is the “Plant for the People” and why Tarweed is now a “buzzword” in Corvallis (Champinefu).

We are launching our Year-End Fundraiser with a goal of raising $20,000 by the end of this year. Over the next six weeks, our Steering Committee members will share stories of what we've done - reflections from our year of folk schooling and the milestones that brought us joy!

 

This week, Margot Schwarz kicks off our series with an overview of our favorite accomplishments from 2025. Margot is passionate about community-building, regenerative food systems, and empowering folks to learn from their neighbors!
