Join us Friday, November 1st, 2024, for a native planting day at Mill Creek, near the town of Alsea! We’ll be planting trees and shrubs, marking the plantings with bamboo stakes, and offering seed cleaning as an activity for those who prefer a low-exertion option.
Mill Creek underwent a major restoration this summer, with over 300 logs placed in-stream and large sections of the floodplain reconnected. This is a unique opportunity to visit one of our biggest projects of 2024 and help restore native vegetation to the area!
