Registration opens 3/22 at 6 am.
Please join us for Open Lands Day at the Rogue River Preserve! The Preserve includes two miles of Rogue River-front, a large floodplain forest, and oak woodlands with meadows, and is open to the public only during events like Open Lands Days, work parties, and for youth education programs, so take advantage of this special opportunity! Explore the trails at your own pace, attend a guided hike, bring a picnic lunch or thermos of tea to enjoy by the river, or do all three.
To limit crowding on the trails, registration is free and required for the hike or self-guided exploration for the day. Guided hike participants are welcome to explore the property before or after their hike slot with just your hike registration.
10:00 a.m. - 3:00 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.
