Tour the scenic Vesper Meadow Restoration Preserve located near Howard Prairie! This beautiful property has undergone some significant restoration projects including weed solarization and native plant restoration, installation of Post-Assisted Log Structures (PALS) in Latgawa Creek, engaging community efforts in science, art, Tribal partnership, and so much more! Join the staff of the Vesper Meadows Education Program on a stewardship stroll through the iconic meadow and give back to the land with a work party. Help by removing old cattle fencing from the property to make it a safer place for elk, bobcat, and other wildlife found throughout the area. 

Vesper Meadow is a conserved private property, with a public purpose. It features a beautiful wet prairie near Howard Prairie, sweeping views of Mt. McLoughlin, and is the home of the Vesper Meadow Education Project. This is a collaborative event supported by Southern Oregon Land Conservancy, and Vesper Meadow Education Project.
