Wetland Wander at Hansen See-Sil

Tuesday, March 8th, 2016

9:00 am - 11:00 am

 

Acorn Woodpeckers, Turkey Vultures, and Rough-legged Hawks 

have all been spotted at Hansen in the last week! Join us at Hansen for a look at Acorn Woodpecker granaries, and  a discussion about this special oak woodland that provides nesting habitat for both ground and cavity nesting birds.

WREN's Wetland Wanders are casual walks through sites in the West Eugene Wetlands the second Tuesday of every month. These walks are FREE to the public and provide exciting opportunities to observe, learn and become inspired by our surrounding natural spaces. WREN staff and volunteers will guide this walk and provide binoculars. Bring water, waterproof shoes, and rain-gear just in case!

 

Directions to Hansen/See-Sil: Take Royal Avenue west to the ODFW parking lot at Fern Ridge Reservoir. If you have an ODFW permit you may park in the lot, otherwise park along Royal Ave. Look for WREN staff.

Wetland Wander at Meadowlark Prairie

Tuesday, February 9th, 2016

9am-11am

Wetland Wander at Meadowlark Prairie

Bird watching is a popular recreational activity at Meadowlark Prairie, with waterfowl, raptors, and songbirds, including the Western Meadowlark, all  frequenting the habitats of this natural area. Winter often yields Northern Harriers, Western Meadowlarks and Red-winged blackbirds calling in the distance, and scat and tracks of coyote, and raccoon.

Participants are asked to meet at the Meadowlark Prairie Overlook located at 88525 Green Hill Road, south of the intersection with Royal Avenue. Please come prepared for rain with gear, sturdy shoes, and binoculars. 

For questions please contact ShyAnne Woods at info@wewetlands.org or call (541) 338-7047
