Plantings Wrap Up at Land Trust Preserves
Nov 10, 2022
Land Trust Preserves have been a hive of activity with planting parties this fall!
As a neighbor of Deschutes Land Trust's Ochoco Preserve, we want to keep you up-to-date on activities at and around the Preserve. That's why we've created this Ochoco Preserve news hub with links to our Neighbor News Bulletins and other updates from the Preserve. We also encourage you to join us for hikes near the Preserve, volunteer at the Preserve, or contact us if you have any questions. Thank you!
The Land Trust has been working for several years to build a vision for the future of Ochoco Preserve. Our vision includes healthy streams, flourishing native plants and wildlife, and new connections for the community. Learn more about the project, then sign up for email updates on the project (expect quarterly updates at the most!).
