In the spring, Central Oregon leaps back to life. Whether you've joined us on one of our guided Walks + Hikes or you've been keeping track in your own yard, we are finding many of our favorite creatures and plants out enjoying the sun. Here is a slideshow to celebrate the wonder of spring. Enjoy!

Explore the world that is springing to life around Land Trust Preserves. 

Thank you to all those who have shared your discoveries out on our trails. We love being able to share in the excitement. Look to see if you can spot the hikers that have been out on our trails and the milkweed that is popping up at Camp Polk Meadow Preserve.
