Butterfly Conservation
Several years ago, a Marys River Watershed Council project was featured on an episode of Oregon Field Guide. This project included efforts to preserve rare native oak savannah & prairie habitats in the Cardwell Hills area, as well as Kincaid’s Lupine to improve habitat for Fenders Blue and Taylor’s checkerspot butterflies. NOTE: the segment begins about 11:00 minutes into the half-hour show.
