Herbert Natural Area is a little-visited beautiful natural area in the middle of a restoration process. Owned by the City of Corvallis and purchased to be restored as a natural area, the Institute for Applied Ecology has been managing the restoration process, assisted by the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde. This webinar will show you the areas in the restoration process, how they are accomplishing this complex task and how you can enjoy the area now. The webinar will also help you envision where the restoration process is heading in the future and what you can expect to enjoy there.

About the Series:

This event is part of the 2023 Liz & Bob Frenkel Environment and Hiking Spring Webinar Series. The theme for this year's series is Reviving and Hiking Willamette Valley Wetlands. Wetlands include forested wetlands, marshes, ponds and wet prairies.Previous to 1840, much of the Willamette Valley was wetlands.Only about 1% of those wetlands remain, making it critical that we regenerate more wetlands.This series looks at three wetlands at various stages of completion.

Co-sponsored by Marys Peak Group of the Sierra Club and the Corvallis-Benton County Public Library
