Why is Pompadour Bluff such a prominent feature in our valley? We’ll learn why with Karen Grove, Geologist, as we examine the sedimentary rocks of the bluff and climb to the top to see how these rocks fit in with the rest of the valley. We’ll explore how, over time, our region transitioned from an ocean to a river plain, then a series of active volcanoes, to what we see today.
Explore the rocks and cliffs of The Harry & Marilyn Fisher Preserve at Pompadour Bluff!
Tour the spectacular Pompadour Bluff just outside of Ashland on a guided hike by Steve Wise, Executive Director. Walk through the beautiful oaks and grasslands before reaching the top where the views are outtasight!
Join us in April for our Open Lands Day at the beautiful Rogue River Preserve!
Please, look up! There is so much to see in the trees, from the birds to the bees in the Jacksonville Woodlands. We will hike around to zoom in on all things with wings! Education and Engagement Specialist, Myco Schroeder, will guide the hike while offering fun facts along the way. Binoculars will be available for check out as well!
Nature Talks on YouTube
Enjoy recordings of our past Nature Talks. Each event has multiple presenters. From our local national trails, to new SOLC conserved lands, to special species, to tracking animals in the snow - you’ll gain knowledge to impress all your friends.
SOLC hosted the annual Land Trust Education Leadership Summit, an event that brings together land-based education program staff for a week of connecting, visioning, and strategic planning. This year’s 22 participants (including two from SOLC!) represented organizations from Oregon, Washington, California, Idaho, and Maine.
Moles are small and objectively cute mammals in the family Talpidae, a group best known for the raised tunnels and molehills they create in soil. These misunderstood velvet potatoes are often considered garden pests, although moles play an important ecological role in the environment and possess remarkable adaptations for life underground.
