 this Sunday June 20th, 3124 Shattuck Ave. Berkeley CA. 94705\n\n1st 
 part:\n\nDocumentary film on a DIY bike collective and slide show: In Lyon 
 France there is DIY bike workshop called « l'atelier vélo autogéré du 
 chat perché » located in an old renault industrial vehical factory.  It's 
 a 900 square foot space with an adjacent indoor bike polo field.  It's a 
 bike freak's heaven for creating human powered vehicals.  It's the garage 
 for a fleet of cargo trikes and oversided trailers that gleem the city for 
 dumpstered treasures.  It's the launching point for the vélorution (french 
 critical mass) and it hosts an annual bike festival called Mort Sauvage à 
 Vélo. It's all this and more.  Come see the slideshow and film presented 
 by one of the founders who will be in Berkeley to show you the best of the 
 workshop, it's creations with many how to photos and it's bike freaks in 
 action. http://ateliervelo.free.fr/ http://velorutionlyon.free.fr/\n\n2nd 
 part\n\nSlideshow on the Northwest Ecosystem Survey Team:\nNEST is an 
 all-volunteer group of self-organizing, tree-climbing humans. They take on 
 a role as canopy surveyors, who utilize the Northwest Forest Plan’s 
 “Survey and Manage” laws to protect ancient forests threatened by 
 clearcut logging. NEST formed out of the Fall Creek tree-sit in 1998, when 
 several observant forest defenders noticed paid USFS surveyors walking 
 transect lines and climbing trees. These paid surveyors were seeking the 
 treetop nests of red tree voles. Unfortunately, their abstract survey 
 protocol does not fully account for tree vole habitat, and it is not ideal 
 for finding nests.
Under Survey and Manage, each red tree vole nest 
 documented was required to receive a 10-acre surrounding buffer where no 
 logging could occur. Following a little research, the forest defenders 
 realized just what needed to be done to do a much more thorough job, on 
 their own. Since this time, NEST has found hundreds of Red Tree Vole nests 
 in areas that were slated for logging. Thousands of acres of forest have 
 been saved, as a result of NEST surveys.NEST has surveyed everywhere from 
 the Illinois Valley of Southern Oregon, as far north as the Mt. Hood 
 National Forest, and many sites in between.
The slideshow will present 
 some of the finest photos from the 10 years of NEST's activity and describe 
 how you can get involved. http://nestcascadia.wordpress.com/\n
