MAKC Wildflower Walk at Kingston Prairie

Mighty Acorn Kids Club Members – join us Saturday, April 18th, 2026 from 10 am to 12 noon to walk through the wildflowers at Kingston Prairie. It is one of the best examples of native prairie in the mid-Willamette Valley, and the early wildflowers should be putting on a show accompanied by the songs of Western Meadow Larks who make their nests in this location west of Salem.

This event will be held in conjunction with our Earth Day Celebration and anyone who wants can stay after the walk to enjoy some celebratory baked goods, and/or bring your own picnic lunch to enjoy and then join us for as long or short as you’d like to pull invasive scotch broom. It is an all ages volunteer experience and highly satisfying to give back to protect this beautiful place!

For the volunteer work party, tools, gloves, and snacks will be provided.

Join us for a fun day caring for and enjoying the land!

What and Where? Explore wildflowers at Kingston Prairie east of Stayton. A portable toilet will be available for use on site. Note it takes approximately one hour to drive to this location from downtown Corvallis.

When? Saturday, April 18, 2026, 10 am – 12 noon (with optional picnic and work party from 12 – 2 pm)

Who’s Invited? The wildflower discovery walk is an exclusive event for Mighty Acorns and their families!  Not a member yet? Sign up to join the club HERE and we’ll have your welcome packet at this event or send it to you in the mail!

What to wear/bring? Dress for the weather! Wear waterproof boots for our walk through wet grass and across mud and puddles. (This goes for kids and adults. We do have some loaners available.) Also bring your curiosity!
