REGISTRATION will open on April 18 at 6am.
Learn to speak “botanese” using the Rogue River Preserve as an outdoor laboratory with botanist and SOLC Stewardship Director, Kristi Mergenthaler. We’ll cover basic flower and leaf morphology, learn a few plant families, and identify some flowers to species while admiring the beauty and wonder of flowering plants.
In 2017, Southern Oregon Land Conservancy purchased this iconic 352-acre parcel along the Rogue River. For more information on the conservation of this special land go to our Heart of the Rogue webpage.
