Walk Leaders:

Colin Sayre has been working in the West Eugene Wetlands for 7 years. Before arriving in the Willamette Valley, Colin worked in a wide variety of habitats including the Boreal Forests of Minnesota, the Great Basin, the Central Coast of California, and the tropical dry forests of Maui. He was born, raised, and attended school in California but is now happy to call Oregon home.

Christine Calhoun works for the BLM as a biological science technician focused on plants. She has been working in the West Eugene Wetlands for over 15 years most of that time has been spent monitoring rare plant species as well as assisting with various restoration projects.

About the Walk:

We will be going on a mile long walk, both on and off trail, through rapidly disappearing wetland habitats. We will talk about botany, restoration strategies, and whatever else comes up! We will attempt to look at some rare plants and discuss the challenges that we face in attempting to restore their populations
