Field Trip: A Botanical Exploration of the Sycan Marsh, The Nature Conservancy (TNC) Preserve

Explore the beauty and biodiversity of Sycan Marsh Preserve with us on a guided botany walk through this stunning TNC property. Nestled in the heart of Oregon’s high desert, Sycan Marsh is home to diverse plant communities, wetlands, and rich wildlife habitat.
This hike will be led by knowledgeable botanists, Rachel Werling (Siskiyou Chapter NPSO) and Sarah Ratay (TNC Sycan Preserve Manager). The hike will highlight native flora, wetland ecosystems, and conservation efforts in the preserve. Whether you’re a seasoned plant enthusiast or just curious about the landscape, this is a great opportunity to learn and connect with nature.
The hike will happen on May 10. There will be an option to travel there the evening of May 9 for those who want to camp at the preserve.
