Ochoco Preserve Tour

Join the Deschutes Land Trust and Leslie Olson for a spring tour of Ochoco Preserve. In 2024, the Land Trust completed the second phase of a major project to shape the future of Ochoco Preserve! See firsthand all the work we've accomplished to create healthy streams, flourishing native plants and wildlife, and new connections for the community. Explore and learn about the Preserve's waterways (McKay Creek, Ochoco Creek, the Crooked River) and watch for birds and other wildlife. Registration is required and opens 1 month prior to the event.
