Join Tara Laidlaw, Education Program Manager, for a nature journaling primer at Oredson-Todd Woods! As we make our way through the park, we will stop to practice foundational journaling strategies that encourage close observation by using words, pictures, and numbers to describe what we observe. No writing or art experience is necessary. Please bring a notebook or journal and a pencil, as well as a portable camp chair if you do not want to sit on the ground.
Most hikes are free. Registration opens online and one month in advance before the date of each hike. For more information or for help with registration, please visit www.landconserve.org/hikes-and-tours, call 541-482-3069, or email events@landconserve.org.
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.
