We are excited to announce that our monarch surveys are back!! Join us on May 30th, June 26th, and July 25th for an all day volunteer field trip to Willamette National Forest to survey for monarch butterfly activity in milkweed meadows. The trip includes a long carpool each way, and a few hours of moderate to difficult off-trail hiking between meadows. Our crew and volunteers have helped with the restoration and monitoring efforts in these areas, including seeding and planting milkweed, and we need your help to search for monarch eggs, caterpillars, chrysalises, and butterflies! Please reach out to [email protected] for more information, with any questions you may have, and to RSVP! We’d love to have you join us!

We had a wonderful collaborative Earth Week event with Friends of Rasor Park this past Saturday! Volunteers helped remove invasive shining geranium, meadow foxtail, and Canada thistle. Rasor Park is home to a wide variety of species (including some rare birds and pollinators!) and these efforts help keep the ecosystem healthy. Thank you so much to Friends of Rasor Park for hosting and to our volunteers for making this event possible!
