Description:
The Willamette Confluence features extensive habitats that are endangered in the Willamette Valley, including six miles of river corridor, floodplain forest, wetlands, upland oak woodlands and native prairie. The Nature Conservancy is working with partners to reconnect the river to its historic floodplain across 20 ponds in this former gravel mining site. This 6-mile, 3-hour walking tour (9AM-12PM) with volunteer docents (and other community members, up to 24 on tour) will take us around the preserve. Tour will include some steep uphill and downhill sections, walking on uneven ground, and crossing a slow flowing creek that may be up to a foot deep.
Participants : no one under 18 per Confluence regulation
