Oak Research Showcase at Bald Hill Farm

Oak Research Showcase at Bald Hill FarmJoin us at Bald Hill Farm for a presentation followed by a field demonstration from two Oregon State University graduate students 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.

Allison Monroe focuses on Oregon White Oak insect communities and potential parasitoids of the invasive Mediterranean Oak Borer.

Their research includes study sites at Bald Hill Farm.  Click here to go to our registration page!

Hike Together – Fitton Green and Mulkey Ridge Trail

Fitton Green Natural Area

Hike Together with Corvallis Multicultural Literacy Center (CMLC) and Greenbelt Land Trust, Saturday, June 14th, from 9:30 - 11:30 am at Fitton Green Natural Area.  The Hike Together series of hikes is a fun way to explore local trails and natural areas and an opportunity to build community with people coming together through both the CMLC and Greenbelt Land Trust.

We will hike in Fitton Green County Natural Area along the Allen Throop Loop and Mulkey Ridge trails. This is a moderate hike of about 3 miles with some moderate elevation up and down on gravel and dirt trails. It is mostly in the full sun and features panoramic vistas and a view of Marys Peak, wildflowers, and big trees. There is a portable restroom available at the trailhead.

We will hike at a relaxed pace, stopping to enjoy the views, look at plants and animals, and talk about the history of Fitton Green Natural Area.

Please dress for the weather and bring a water bottle.

NOTE: Transportation is not included when registering for this hike through Greenbelt Land Trust.
