Preserve Visitation Guidelines

We ask our visitors to understand that nature preserves owned or managed by The Nature Conservancy are not parks or recreation areas. To help us protect Oregon's most vulnerable native plants and wildlife, please observe the following guidelines while hiking:
- Stay on the trail. Don't collect plants, insects or other species or disturb soil, rocks, artifacts or scientific research markers.
- No dogs. Preserves harbor ground-nesting birds and other wildlife that are extremely sensitive to disturbance.
- No bicycles or motorized vehicles. Native plants and research sites are easily trampled.
- No hunting, camping or campfires.
- For groups of 10 or more, please contact us before visiting a preserve. We may be able to offer you a volunteer naturalist guide.
- Please bring a bag and carry out any trash you find.
- Please report to us any problems you observe (indications of camping, plant removal, hunting, off-road vehicle damage, etc).
- To volunteer, please call (503) 802-8100.
Commercial photographers who wish to use the Conservancy's preserves are asked to contact us for permission.
Taking Photographs
Amateur photographers are welcome to take photographs on our preserves. Since we look for great photos to communicate about our mission and our work, please consider sharing your images with us. If we publish them in our newsletter or other publications, we'll give you credit and thanks for helping inspire others to safeguard Oregon's natural heritage.
