Of course, there are always more adventures waiting just beyond the horizon. We still have not experienced a burger and shake in Fields, journey into Hart Mountain, or the Malheur National Forest.
Community outreach and educational programs like these walks are made possible by memberships, donations, and ticket sales to our events; a huge thank you goes out to our community for supporting Malheur NWR through our Friends group.
Brown-headed Cowbirds are North America’s most widespread brood parasites. Rather than building a nest, a female lays her egg in the nest of another bird species.
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.
