About this Event
Tour the spectacular Pompadour Bluff just outside of Ashland on a guided hike by Kristi Mergenthaler, Botanist and Stewardship Director. Walk though beautiful oaks and grasslands to the top of the bluff for spectacular views of Bear Creek Valley, the Cascades, and the Siskiyou Mountains.
In 2021, we were honored to be gifted an iconic landmark of the Southern Bear Creek Valley, The Harry & Marilyn Fisher Preserve at Pompadour Bluff. Harry Fisher bequeathed this 55-acre property to SOLC in his will. Read more about what makes this scenic place so special and how you can support its conservation.
