This is where all things wild, conserved, beautiful and exciting get talked about.
In 2022, SOLC facilitated 1,676 student-days of programming and hosted several teacher professional development workshops. From the valley floor to the ridgelines, we are delighted to be supporting learners of all ages – whether they’re kindergarteners practicing their colors with fall leaves in the Jacksonville Woodlands or in-service teachers exploring trauma-informed fire ecology education. Learn more about our education efforts in 2022 and what we look forward to in the year ahead.
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.
It’s almost time for our 2025 Conservation Celebration!

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.
