Willamette University Professor Weston Miller – Director of Willamette University at Zena and Center for Land-based Learning – will lead a tour of Willamette University’s 305 acre “Willamette University at Zena” property west of Salem. The property supports academic research and environmental education and serves as a “living laboratory” for sustainability practices. It features oak and mixed woodlands, Oregon oak savanna, upland prairie, riparian zones, wetlands, and freshwater habitats, and has diverse native plants and forbs including Roemer’s fescue, yarrow, Oregon sunshine, common selfheal, checkermallows, and cinquefoils. The walk will cover 1.5 miles with a 250-foot elevation gain. For more information and to register for this field trip, email John Savage at wv****@***il.com
