At the Rock Garden, volunteers dug planting holes, carefully removed plants from their containers, and set them into their new homes. Once planting was complete, the group spread mulch across the area to help retain soil moisture, reduce weed growth, and protect plant roots.
This project is about more than planting seed. It is an investment in healthier soils, more resilient habitat, and a future in which native plants again provide cover, food, and structure for migratory birds, mule deer, and the many other species that call Malheur home.
Simply put, if we want to continue Ian’s important work in 2027, we must raise the funds to pay him, and the primary funding source for all our programs is the generous support of our loyal membership.
Join us in celebrating National Wildlife Refuge Week in honor of Malheur NWR and the Friends who promote its conservation. Come & Bring your friends!
