Everyone’s talking about the beaver! We know that beavers help habitat flourish: for birds, for native plants, water quality, and for our lands as a whole.

That’s why we are joining up with friends from Vesper Meadow, Rogue Valley Audubon Society, the Siskiyou Chapter of the Native Plant Society of Oregon and the Southern Oregon Land Conservancy for a day of learning, stewardship and celebration at the Vesper Meadow Restoration Preserve.

We’ll start with a tour of the restoration demonstration sites in the meadow and creek, and then folks will have a chance to participate in creek restoration by creating beaver-based restoration structures and planting willow stakes. Afterwards, we’ll treat ourselves to a celebratory potluck - bring a dish to pass and your own bowl and utensils.

Plus, we’ll debut our new short film about beaver-based restoration for butterflies on the Vesper Meadow stage.
