Want to help an endangered species? Join Greenbelt and Institute for Applied Ecology staff and fellow volunteers for a work party planting Willamette Daisy (Erigeron decumbens) at Bald Hill Farm on Wednesday, November 14th, from 9 am to 1 pm.

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.

Want to help butterflies and bees? Join us for a family day of learning and planting at Bald Hill Farm on Sunday, November 12th, from 10am-1pm!

Learn how we protect bee and butterfly species and help us build their habitat! We'll have fun pollinator education activities for kids aged K-5th grade and then we'll go out on the prairie and plant some of the native wildflowers our local pollinators need to thrive.

No previous experience is necessary and planters of all ages are welcome! Our educational activities will be geared to K-5th grade but younger and older family members are welcome as well! Minors must be accompanied by an adult. Materials, tools, and gloves will be provided.

Want to help build habitat for two rare butterfly species? Join Greenbelt staff and fellow volunteers as we improve restored prairie habitat at Bald Hill Farm on Saturday November 18th, from 10 am to 2 pm. At this volunteer event, we will work together to plant bulbs and bareroot plants that will become a nectar source for butterflies and other native pollinators for years to come!

Want to help a rare plant species? Join Greenbelt staff and fellow volunteers for a work party planting Kincaid's Lupine  at Bald Hill Farm on Tuesday, March 19th, from 10 am to 2 pm.

Kincaid's lupine is a threatened plant species that makes its home within the Willamette Valley. Kincaid's lupine populations are rare due to loss of prairie habitat and it needs our help to reestablish, especially because it is an important host species for the threatened Fender's Blue Butterfly. You can help Greenbelt Land Trust work to restore prairie habitat, Kincaid's lupine, and Fenders Blue Butterfly populations by joining us for this event!

Want to help an endangered species? Join Greenbelt, Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde (CTGR), and Institute for Applied Ecology (IAE) staff and volunteers for a work party planting Willamette Daisy (Erigeron decumbens) on Friday, November 15th, from 9 am to 3 pm.

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. CTGR, IAE, and Greenbelt all work to restore prairie habitat and Willamette daisy populations at multiple site across the Willamette Valley and we’re excited to join this planting event at at Chankawan, a Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde property east of Salem.

Help Restore a Floodplain Forest Habitat!
Join Greenbelt staff and volunteers for a work party planting native shrubs and trees at Luckiamute Meadows on Saturday, February 8th, from 10 am to 2 pm.

Floodplain forests are an essential yet rare habitat in the Willamette Valley. They support dynamic river flooding processes and provide vital refuge for many wildlife species, including birds, fish, and amphibians. By planting native species, we’re working to restore this critical ecosystem.
