Fitton Green Restoration Walk

Come hike around beautiful Fitton Green Natural Area with us! With tour leader Al Kitzman (Benton County Natural Areas and Parks) we will learn about an impressive restoration project planned for the site, with the goal of enhancing habitat for the Taylor's Checkerspot butterfly. Fitton Green is one of only two sites that the Taylor's butterfly has been found in Oregon, though it was once a common species found amid the Willamette Valley's grasslands. This hike is in collaboration with the Alliance for Recreation and Natural Areas (AFRANA). Family-friendly event! Email jessica@greenbeltlandtrust.org to get details and to reserve your spot.
