| Saturday, March 6th |
9 am - 12 pm | Evergreen Restoration Workday Help us remove Scotch Broom during our inaugural volunteer workday at Evergreen, one of Greenbelt’s latest acquisitions. We will provide tools, water and snacks. Please bring gloves and sturdy boots or footwear. Meet at the Greenbelt office at 9 am for departure. We are located at 101 SW Western Ave. |
| Saturday, March 20th |
9 am - 12 pm | Bald Hill Natural Area Trail Workday, Corvallis Celebrate Spring with us on March 20th! For these trail work parties, we’ll be focusing on the SE Summit Access trail, the Summit Loop, and the Mardi Keltner Trails. These sections have long been enjoyed by runners and walkers owing to the scenery and the sense of being close to the natural environment in a way that’s tough to achieve with larger paths. There’s plenty to do in all of these trails; surface regrading, water diversion, washout repair, resurfacing, and hazard trimming. We also have some invasive vegetation that needs to be dealt with along the way, too. Each work party starts at 9:00am, meeting at the Oak Creek Drive parking lot and working through to the noon hours. Tools, haulers, materials, and safety gear will be provided for all - all you have to do is dress for the weather, bring a water bottle, and show up ready to make an impact on our paths. |
| Saturday, March 27th | 9 am - 12 pm | Bald Hill Natural Area Tour & Re-dedication, Corvallis Bald Hill Natural Area is one of the jewels of Corvallis. Did you know that the Greenbelt purchased over 40 acres of the park in 1990 and donated the western portion of the park to the City of Corvallis in 1993? Join us for this tour and learn about the habitats of Bald Hill and how this portion of the park was permanently protected by the Greenbelt. Also join us in a re-dedication ceremony to highlight the commitment of the community to protect this vital landscape. |
