Are you ready for an adventure? We invite you to join us for three fun-filled, educational days at Willow-Witt Ranch in the expanded Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument. Your first day will include a walk on the wetland interpretive trail to the highest known elevation breeding site of the Western pond turtle and place-based activities to connect you with this spectacular natural world. On Day 2, you’ll experience a day in the life on the farm, including a walk with the goats and time in the organic gardens. Our final day together will offer a tour of the Forest Conservation Burial Ground and a reflective hike.
Each class session, students are invited to arrive early for a BYO picnic lunch at the campground. All of this awaits you on the beautiful 445-acre Willow-Witt Ranch property!
NOTE: Students will hike up to two miles on uneven terrain. Be prepared with sun protection, snacks, and water. Willow-Witt Ranch is between 4,000 and 5,000 feet in elevation. Carpooling is encouraged to the ranch, 13 miles from Ashland.
Instructors: Mary Ann Perry, Paul Sheldon, Suzanne Willow
