Nature Conservancy seeks Juniper Hills Preserve volunteers

The Nature Conservancy invites anyone interested in maintaining Juniper Hills Preserve east of Prineville to participate in an overnight volunteer work party on the weekend of Saturday & Sunday, July 14 th – 15 th .

Juniper Hills Preserve is located on the Crooked River in Central Oregon and harbors ancient western junipers, an outstanding diversity of native bunchgrasses and colorful fossil formations. During this work party, volunteers will remove old fence within our prescribed fire units.

Participants should bring sturdy water resistant boots for working in areas by the springs, long-sleeved shirt and pants to wear while working, a daypack, raingear, hiking boots, a hat, sunscreen, one or two large water bottles (drinking water will be available on site), insect repellent, a flashlight and leather or rubber soled work gloves if you have them — if you don’t we will have gloves you can borrow. Bring several layers of clothing to be prepared for any type of Oregon weather.

Registration is required at nature.org/oregonworkparties. Questions? Contact (503) 802-8100 or orvolunteers@tnc.org.
