Join us Friday, January 10th 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 processing willow.
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!
