Join us and USFWS Biologist Chris Seal to learn about an exciting new approach to conservation in our region - the recently established Willamette Valley Conservation Area. Discover how this innovative program works with private landowners on a voluntary basis to protect critical oak and prairie habitats. Chris will explain how this Conservation Area differs from traditional national wildlife refuges, highlight local species recovery success stories, and share how this collaborative approach benefits both wildlife and our community's economic vitality. From endangered species protection to creative land management strategies, learn how this new conservation model is helping shape the future of the Willamette Valley.
Join us for this FREE presentation, which will be followed by an interactive Q&A session!
