Regenerating and Hiking Willamette Valley Wetlands

All Webinars on Wednesday Nights at 7:00 pm
Pre-registration required

Wetlands include forested wetlands, marshes, ponds and wet prairies. Previous to 1840, much of the Willamette Valley was wetlands. Today, only about 1% remain, making it critical that we regenerate more wetlands of all types. This series looks at success stories, some near completion, some in process. They each represent different public ownerships, different issues, different techniques and different outcomes. They are also publicly accessible for hiking. We encourage you to watch all three webinars to gain a broad understanding of wetlands, what it takes to regenerate them and what you will see when you hike around them.
