Join us for a morning of pulling invasive yellow starthistle at Pompadour Bluff to make room for native flowers and bunchgrasses. Take in the views of the southern Bear Creek Valley while helping retain biodiversity near the top of the bluff.
Please wear long pants and closed-toed shoes/boots. Bring sun protection, gloves, and plenty of water. We will provide back-up gloves and snacks.
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.

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.
