Prescribed burn for restoration project

Prescribed fire can be a vital tool for restoring prairie habitats that rare species depend on. The Willamette Valley National Wildlife Refuge Complex led this burn on a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program project with support from the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service, and the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde. The property supports the largest known population of the endangered Willamette daisy and also hosts golden paintbrush, which was delisted in 2023.
