Hikers enjoy wildflowers by the Rogue River.
REGISTRATION opens on March 15 at 6 a.m.
Spring is here! Enjoy its full splendor by visiting a beautiful property: the Rogue River Preserve. The Preserve includes two miles of Rogue River-front, a large floodplain forest, and oak woodlands with meadows. The Preserve is occasionally open to the public during guided hikes, special events like Open Lands Days, and for local schools groups. Explore the trails, unguided, or join experts for a guided educational hike.
To limit crowding on the trails, we require pre-registration for specific time slots. Guided Hike participants are welcome to explore the property before or after their hike slot (no need to register for Self-guided option if registering for hike).
9 a.m. - 3 p.m. - Self-guided Explorations. check out field guides, binoculars, and other gear from our lending library, and chat with docents along the trail to learn as you explore. Up to 30 visitors
10 a.m. - 12 p.m. - Guided Wildflower Hike. Up to 15 visitors (Includes Self-guided Exploration for the day)

Wildflower Hike: Led by SOLC's Stewardship Director and Botanist Kristi Mergenthaler, we will use Rogue River Preserve as an outdoor laboratory to learn about botany. We’ll meet many beautiful flowers, learn about flower anatomy, and get to know the characters of a few plant families.
Plants & People Hike: Volunteer docent and naturalist Liz Landreth will lead a walk focusing on plants and ethnobotany. Liz will tell stories about how the plants adapt to this unique environment and how animals, Native Americans and early settlers depend on them for food, medicine, shelter and tools. The spring flowers will be lovely! The walk will be less than 2 miles, going at a slow flower-appreciating rate, on and off trails on relatively flat ground.
As much as we love our furry friends at SOLC, pets are not allowed. SOLC does make exceptions for ADA service animals. Companion animals, however, are not allowed.
