Willow Planting Work Party

  • Vesper Meadow Restoration Preserve 16534 Dead Indian Memorial Rd Ashland United States (map)

We’re teaming up with the Native Plant Society of Oregon, Siskiyou Chapter for a meadow tour and willow planting work party!

All are welcome to tour the creek restoration area, now 6 years in the making! We will plant willows along headwater creeks of the Rogue River using restoration techniques to restore the creek channel previously eroded by grazing and down-cutting associated with lack of vegetation. We will create live gully-breaks and diverse creek features - a fun and easy way to participate as a land steward. All are welcome, recommended for ages 12 and up.

We will be walking over generally flat but uneven terrain, carrying willow stakes 4 - 7 ft in length and using loppers.

Bring layers of clothing, waders or waterproof boots, water, snacks and lunch.

Please RSVP to hold your spot and for final details one week in advance of the event:
