April 6 , 2009 Meeting
Butterflies and Moths on Nature Conservancy Lands in Oregon
with Jason Nuckols
Jason Nuckols, who is the Willamette Valley Preserve Manager of our Eugene branch of the Nature Conservancy, will tell us about the many areas of Oregon in which The Nature Conservancy owns or manages beautiful wild areas. I am sure we will learn from Jason of new places in Oregon in which to enjoy both bird and butterfly watching.

The Mission of the Nature Conservancy is to protect the plants, animals and natural communities that represent the diversity of life on Earth, by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive. In Oregon The Nature Conservancy owns or manages 46 nature preserves and has helped to protect over 500,000 acres of important habitat. Jason Nuckols will join us April 6th to share The Nature Conservancy's work in Oregon with emphasis on conservation of the Willamette Valley and butterfly and moth projects across the State.

The photos below show Jason at work in Managed-Fire activities on the new Coburg Hills property now under TNC management.
