Reviving and Hiking Willamette Valley Wetlands
This webinar will entice both those who have never been to Finley and those who have been there many times to visit the Refuge with new eyes and new expectations. Jarod Jebousek is a wildlife biologist for U.S. Fish and Wildlife currently focusing on the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program for the Willamette Valley National Wildlife Refuge Complex. His office is at the William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge ten miles south of Corvallis. He has planned, designed and maintained wetlands of the Finley Refuge. For the last 20 years, he has also helped private landowners, non-federal agencies and NGOs plan and design voluntary wetland restorations throughout the Willamette Valley. Jarod will show us the many different types of wetlands that exist at Finley, what it took to restore and maintain them, what you see when you visit them and how to access them.
This annual Spring webinar series is co-sponsored by the Marys Peak Group Sierra Club and the Corvallis-Benton County Public Library. The April and May webinars will be announced at a later date.
