Greenbelt Land Trust

Jump into the outdoors in June with this great opportunity to see Greenbelt's newest conserved property, CBow Ridge in the Coburg Hills. We will walk one mile on gravel roads and through meadows, with some elevation up and down as we explore the variety of native trees and shrubs at this beautiful site.

Our walk will be led by Ed Jensen, Oregon State University Professor Emeritus and Author of Shrubs to Know in Pacific Northwest Forests, as well as David Zahler, Greenbelt Board Member and former faculty member of OSU College of Forestry for over 18 years.

Please note that drive time from Corvallis to the meeting spot is about 45 minutes. No dogs are allowed and there are no bathroom facilities on site. We hope you will join us! Click here to register.

Lichens at Luckiamute Meadows

February 19, 2025 from 10 am - 12 noon

Join Greenbelt Land Trust and lichen enthusiast, Sunia Yang to learn about the variety and diversity of lichen at this beautiful property in Kings Valley. We will learn a lot about lichen as we wander through beautiful riparian areas and meadows and pause frequently to examine lichen using hand lenses. Our walk will be on mostly flat (but uneven and sometimes muddy!) trails for up to 2 miles as we learn and explore.  Click here to sign up today!

It's a pop-up! Join us on Thursday, April 24th, from 12-2 pm at Bald Hill Farm for an inside look at the work we are doing with the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and Institute for Applied Ecology to re-introduce Taylor's Checkerspot Butterflies and provide the prairie plants they need in restoration areas. We will talk to project staff, see how the re-introduction work is done, and hopefully see some buterflies. Binoculars available to borrow or bring your own.

We will walk for up to 1.5 miles on gravel roads with some moderate and short elevation gain, and over uneven prairie ground. Bathrooms available at the beginning and end of the walk. Please dress for the weather and leave your pets at home.

Most of us missed Estate Planning 101 in school.

Planning for your family’s needs is not easy. It takes expertise and specific knowledge. Greenbelt Land Trust invites you to join this lively and interactive workshop with local estate planning expert, attorney Ron Marek.

Find out all you need to know to re-evaluate your current plan or to get started. This workshop provides a small group setting in which you will be guided through the essentials that should be considered when developing a will or estate plan.

Ron has worked with individuals and couples from all different walks of life to create plans that make sense for them.
