Petals & Feathers at Pompadour Bluff

  • Harry & Marilyn Fisher Preserve at Pompadour Bluff Dead Indian Memorial Road Ashland, OR 97520 (map)

REGISTRATION opens on April 8 at 6 a.m.

Join Bird Biologist Frank Lospalluto and SOLC Stewardship Director and Botanist Kristi Mergenthaler for an exploration of Pompadour Bluff with a special focus on birds and flowers. This location is an excellent place to see raptors and songbirds like Western Bluebird, and Western Meadowlark, and special plants like native oaks, grasses, and wildflowers with an out-a-sight view of the valley!

In 2021 we were honored to be gifted an iconic landmark of the southern Bear Creek Valley, The Harry & Marilyn Fisher Preserve at Pompadour Bluff. Harry Fisher bequeathed this 55-acre property to SOLC in his will. Read more about what makes this scenic place so special and how you can support its conservation.
