Description:
This hike is co-sponsored by the Obsidians’ Conservation/Science/Education Committee and The Nature Conservancy, and is for Obsidian members only.
The hike is located on a 1,244-acre permanent conservation easement granted to The Nature Conservancy by the John Jaqua family. The property extends across McKenzie View Drive up into the Coburg Hills in a mile-wide swath that harbors native hilltop prairies, oak habitats, and haunts for at least 25 at-risk species.
Coburg Ridge Preserve is the largest privately owned nature sanctuary in the Willamette Valley. The property is not be open to the public, except for tours by The Conservancy.
MEETUP LOCATION: We will meet at Papa’s Pizza on Coburg and drive over to the property together. Please be on time. Masks will be needed for carpooling and participants must be vaccinated.
Each participant will need to sign two waivers: the Obsidian signup sheet/liability acceptance plus The Nature Conservancy waiver (related to COVID-19 risk and certification of health insurance).
NOTE ABOUT THE TRAIL CONDITIONS: The last half mile is quite steep (no switchbacks) with slippery footing. There may be a few downed, smallish trees across the lower parts of the trail Be prepared for some log-hopping just in case, as well as some potential cross country travel without a trail.
Questions? Please call/email member, Kay Coots.
