Join us for a stewardship event where you can learn about, and help, the rare Mardon Skipper butterfly. Found only in high mountain meadows, in just a couple places in Oregon, this species needs protection and the Cascade Siskiyou National Monument has long been one of this butterfly’s few refuges that have been negatively affected by past land use.
We will be collecting seeds together, on public lands, from the the specific plants that Mardon Skippers rely on for food and shelter. These seeds will be used to restore the plant populations needed for the Mardon Skipper to thrive again.
Poison oak is present in the area, but avoidable.
