Join Greenbelt staff and fellow volunteers for a work party at our newest protected property, Cbow Ridge! This work party will focus on the removal of invasive scotch broom along the roads that run throughout this 1,600 acre property. We will use handsaws, shovels, and weed pullers to remove the scotch broom from the landscape.
We will be working from 10am-2pm. If you are only able to attend for part of the time, you’re still welcome to join us, just send an email to jean@greenbeltlandtrust.org to discuss.
Wear: The weather could be cold and wet, so plan to bring warm layers, a waterproof raincoat, rain pants and hiking boots.
Bring: Snacks and lunch, water bottle, and any emergency medications you usually bring on outdoor excursions for personal use (like Epi-Pens).
Accessibility notes: There are no restroom facilities at the CBow Ridge property. You can expect 2-3 miles of hiking on a gravel road as we work. No previous experience is necessary.
Location: We will be cutting Scotch Broom at CBow Ridge just north of Coburg in Lane County. CBow is located about an hours drive south of Corvallis. Full directions, instructions, and information on how to carpool will be sent to participants a few days before the event.
Note that this event was rescheduled to Feb 24th due to icy/snowy conditions on the original date…
Join us for fresh air and a fresh start to the New Year. We will lead a short and easy hike on Greenbelt Land Trust’s beautiful property at Bald Hill Farm in Corvallis. We will make our way across the fields to a stand of oak trees where we can see out across the hills. Great for anyone who may be new to hiking, families with young children, or anyone who enjoys a relaxed ramble! Along the way, you can complete a nature scavenger hunt and we will have hot cocoa or apple cider at the end of the walk. The ground will be uneven in spots and sturdy shoes are recommended. The walk will be held rain or shine, so come dressed for the weather. All children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
Join Greenbelt staff and fellow volunteers for a festive work party along the Mulkey Ridge trail! This work party will focus on the removal of quick growing conifers within our restored oak woodlands project. We will use handsaws and loppers to remove the conifers and ensure that the oaks have plenty of room to grow for years to come.
We will be working from 10am-2pm. If you are only able to attend for part of the time, you’re still welcome to join us, just send an email to jean@greenbeltlandtrust.org to discuss.
Wear: The weather could be cold and wet, so plan to bring warm layers, a waterproof raincoat, rain pants and hiking boots.
Bring: Snacks and lunch, water bottle, and any emergency medications you usually bring on outdoor excursions for personal use (like Epi-Pens).
Accessibility notes: There will be no restroom facilities at the work site. You can expect 2-3 miles of hiking (both on and off-trail) and plenty of hand-sawing to warm up your arms and shoulders. There is poison oak in the area, which we will identify as a group in order to avoid it as much as possible during our work party. No previous experience is necessary.

Join Greenbelt and Institute for Applied Ecology staff and fellow volunteers for a work party planting Willamette Daisy (Erigeron decumbens) at Bald Hill Farm.
Willamette Daisy is an endangered daisy species present only within the Willamette valley. Willamette Daisy populations have been in decline due to loss of prairie habitat and competition from invasive plant species. IAE and Greenbelt both work to restore prairie habitat and Willamette daisy populations at multiple sites in the Willamette Valley and we’re excited to be engaging the community in a joint event.
We are planning for a full day, from 9am-3pm. If you are only able to attend for part of the time, you’re still welcome to join us; just send an email to jean@greenbeltlandtrust.org to discuss. Please Note: We will continue planting whatever is left on Friday, November 18th – feel free to sign up for both days!
Wear: The weather could be cold and wet and the ground may be muddy, so plan to bring warm layers, a waterproof raincoat, rain pants and boots. Bring a sun hat just in case. We will have plenty of gardening gloves available, but feel free to bring your own if you prefer.
Bring: Snacks and lunch, water bottle, and any emergency medications you usually bring on outdoor excursions for personal use (like Epi-Pens).
Accessibility notes: There will be no restroom facilities on-site. We will walk on uneven gently sloping ground for up to 15 minutes to the planting site. Lifting and carrying 25lb plant trays is a possibility, but not a requirement for everyone. Kneeling and bending over for extended periods should be expected while planting. Planting instructions will be provided and no previous experience is necessary.
Location: We will be planting at Bald Hill Farm. Full directions and instructions will be sent to participants a few days before the event.
