oIn this image you can clearly see the strip of green next to the river, which is the original site for the riverfront restoration project. The strip will eventually grow into a native forest. One of the goals is to provide shade on the water to promote a healthier fish habitat and extend the greenway from the state land up the river. The farm currently has approximately 80 acres enrolled in the project, with almost 80,000 native shrubs, trees and plants. There are over 25 different varieties planted including Oregon Grape, Elderberry, Indian Plum, Mock Orange, Snowberry, Maple and Fir trees to name a few. We are looking forward to cultivating the large field on the left of the site and more restoration projects in the future. Being good stewards to the land that has been entrusted in our care is an incredible honor.

Many thanks to our partners in this project: the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Program (OWEB), the Meyer Memorial Trust (MMT), the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program, and the Coast Fork Watershed Council.
