Tour the Institute for Applied Ecology's new ground for growing native plants for seed production at OSU’s Vegetable Research Farm, and discuss how this fits into conservation efforts in Oregon. You'll discuss horticultural challenges associated with growing native prairie species for seed and see the plants they have currently in production. This tour will be oriented toward anyone with an interest in growing native species.
Meet promptly at 5 p.m. at the NE corner of HWY 34 and Electric Road, just east of the Willamette River. The farm field is located about 2 minutes from that intersection, and you'll caravan with the group to your destination.
