Description:
We're all hearing about the need for more fire on our wild landscapes. Join Jeff Rosier, Steward of Willow Creek Preserve, to learn how controlled burns are being used to help restore native prairie ecosystems and increase habitat for the Fender's Blue Butterfly. Once thought extinct, this butterfly is endemic to the Willamette Valley and was listed as endangered in 2000. Walk to various areas in the preserve. Observe the differences between before and after 2022 fire treated areas. Learn how Willow Creek Preserve has assisted this butterfly, it's host plant and other native prairie species. After Jeff's presentation and tour, we will have time for more walking at Willow Creek Preserve. And there will be an optional hike at Iris Ridge nearby after our Willow Creek Preserve adventure.
