As a neighbor of Deschutes Land Trust's Metolius Preserve and Metolius River Preserve, we want to keep you up-to-date on activities at the Preserves. That's why we've created this Metolius Preserve and Metolius River Preserve news hub with links to our Neighbor Newsletters and other updates from the Preserve. We also encourage you to join us for hikes at the Preserves, volunteer at the Preserves, or contact us if you have any questions. Thank you!
**April 28, 2025: The Land Trust is planning a prescribed burn at the Metolius Preserve in early May. The Preserve will remain open during the burn period, but we recommend staying off the Lake Creek Trail and other trails in the northern section of the Preserve due to smoke and burn impacts.
