Oak Research Showcase at Bald Hill Farm
Join us at Bald Hill Farm for a presentation followed by a field demonstration from Oregon State University graduate student, Kellee Boyer whose research is focusing on the health of the Oregon White Oak - a keystone species in our Willamette Valley.
Kellee Boyer studies root disease in Oregon white oak ecosystems and is seeking to determine whether pre-existing root disease in these oaks increases susceptibility to Mediterranean oak borer infestation. Pre-registration is required - click here to register!
Woodpeckers at Bald Hill Farm
Come out to join Greenbelt Land Trust's Events and Education Coordinator, Kendra Callahan, at Owens Farm for a leisurely walk under the oaks and out in the fields of this lovely property. We will move at a slow pace and take time to stop, look, and listen and soak up the beauty of our surroundings. Our focus will be on the many amazing adaptations of the Oregon White Oak, why it is important in our Willamette Valley, and why it is considered a keystone species in this region.
