Enjoy some Southern Oregon wildlife viewing. [VIDEOS]
Every year, the owners of a conserved property in the Takilma area of the Illinois Valley share their latest wildlife videos with us from their trail cameras located near their property. We thought we'd share them with you and express the value of conserving land - for bobcats, coyotes, deer and bears, big and small.

Spring on spongy soils at the Sharon Fen Preserve!
Join us for an exciting day at Vesper Meadow Restoration Preserve for a community effort to restore habitat!
A legacy of cattle grazing has littered the landscape with broken down fences that make it dangerous for wildlife to move through large swaths of conserved lands, and we need your help with removing this hazard. Come get to know your fellow community volunteers and take part in a greater movement for land stewardship in Southern Oregon. It's a fun and easy way to find satisfaction in a day's work. All fence materials will be upcycled to make a sculpture by Vesper Meadow Artist-in-Partnership, Gabriel Barerra.
Our 2025 Conservation Celebration is right around the corner - get your tickets today!
Come see the marked beauty of Pompadour Bluff at the first edge of autumn!

If you ever peer into a half-rotted log you might be so lucky to find a slippery pair of eyes staring back at you. If you’re extremely lucky those eyes could belong to a Pacific giant salamander (Dicamptodon tenebrosus). Usually seen wriggling through woody debris or eating a mildly toxic banana slug, these marbled beauties are found throughout western Oregon.
