Winter 2011-Spring 2012
LIVING WITH NATURE Harkens Lake As 2011 came to a close Greenbelt Land Trust celebrated a momentous new conservation project at Harkens Lake. The 319-acre property lies along the Willamette River south of Corvallis near Irish Bend, unfolding over a floodplain, wetlands and hardwood forest. Combined with a similar project on neighboring property, Harkens Lake will become part of a continuous 500-acre swath of county, state and private land being managed for fish and wildlife conservation, spanning two miles of Willamette riverfront. Thursday, February 9th 6 - 8pm The side-channels and sloughs at Harkens Lake provide welcoming refuge for native fish, including endangered spring Chinook salmon. Eddies and sloughs provide cool back channel areas for juvenile migrating salmon, allowing the young fish time to build strength and endurance before continuing on their epic pilgrimage to the Pacific Ocean. While the braided channels First Presbyterian Church 114 SW 8th St., Corvallis (New Wing) at Harkens Lake, often inundated through seasonal flooding, create challenges for farming, they also provide sanctuary for wetland animals from western pond turtles to red-legged frogs and native salmon. Tall majestic cottonwoods provide nesting habitat for ospreys, eagles, and many other birds. Now that we have protected this incredible landscape, the real work begins. Greenbelt will be working with the landowners to plan and implement restoration activities including planting thousands of native trees to re-establish the property’s historic floodplain forests. This reforestation work will benefit both wildlife and neighboring landowners, with trees acting as a river buffer to cushion the effects of river erosion and flooding on adjacent lands. In addition to the landowners at Harkens Lake, we could not have completed this project without the incredible support and Continued on page 3 WINTER/SPRING 2012 Annual Report Big Dollars for Restoration $327,171 Awarded in Stewardship Grants Stewardship grants awarded in 2011, totaling $327,171, will support data collection, restoration planning, and habitat restoration at 8 different sites over the next several years. Surveying & Assessment Any good restoration begins with data collection and assessment. With these funds will be surveying Kincaid’s lupine and weeds at Lupine Meadows, butterflies at Lone Star Ranch, and fish, amphibians and hydrology assessments on Greenbelt lands along the Willamette River. These assessments provide critical ecological information that will be used to guide management and restoration plans for these protected properties. Habitat Restoration In addition to assessment work, these awards are funding ongoing restoration activities on prairies, oak woodlands and oak savannas at GLT properties Owens Farm, Lupine Meadows, Lone Star Ranch, Little Willamette, and Willamette Bluffs. Grants also support stream habitat restoration efforts at Thomas Paine Farms and floodplain and wetlands management at Little Willamette and Willamette Bluffs properties.

Greenbelt Land Trust FLOODING & NATIVE FISH Oregon Land Trusts Protect.Restore.Enjoy Massachusetts, 1891 – A young architect and lover of nature distributes a proposal entitled “The Preservation of Beautiful and Historical Places” that announces the need to establish a nonprofit organization for the immediate preservation of “special bits of scenery” still remaining “which possess uncommon beauty and more than usual refreshing power.” The circular was met with resounding support, and the first land trust was formed. Fast-forward 120 years, and there are now over 1700 land trusts across the country that have permanently protected 47 million acres (an area twice the size of all of the national parks in the contiguous US)! From the towering Wallowas to the farms and forests of the Gorge and lush rivers along the North Coast, Oregon’s eighteen land trusts are working hard to protect critical lands that our wildlife, plants, and communities depend on. Land trusts in Oregon have preserved 53,386 acres, ensuring that the state continues to be a source of beauty and livability for generations to come. In 2011 OR land trusts joined together to establish the Coalition of Oregon Land Trusts (COLT) as a non-profit organization, adopted by-laws and established a 3-year Strategic Plan to develop a unified voice for the land conservation movement in Oregon. Greenbelt is proud of the work of land trusts nation-wide, and eager to partner with fellow trusts to expand the reach of land protection and restoration across the state. Keep an eye out for COLT updates and announcements! Winter/Spring 2012 In the space of a few days, many rivers in western Oregon went from near-record low levels to flood stage, jeopardizing riverside homes, causing flooding and challenging Chinook salmon, steelhead and other native fishes. Decades of human alterations to Oregon’s river systems have contributed to worsening the situation, according to hydrologists. What once were complex, braided rivers, with multiple channels that spread the impact of flooding, have been transformed into single channels that act like pipelines. “Historical river systems were much more complex and their multiple channels spread the impact of the flooding, and slowed the currents. It also created holding places for migrating and resident fish. But dams, development, and the transition from natural forests to housing tracts and pastures have eliminated complexity from many river systems, “ says OSU ecologist Stan Gregory. Salmon, steelhead and native fish should be able to survive the floods ... after all, they have had thousands of years to adapt to flooding. “Adult steelhead are large, strong fish and can navigate most rivers even at flood stage, and flooding is actually beneficial in many cases. It can improve habitat by scouring out river bottoms, creating new pools and cleaning out silt,” says Gregory. “We have found populations of cutthroat trout in streams in the Cascade Mountains to be highest in the summers following the largest floods, while winters with low flooding are followed by low populations.” Photo of the Willamette River, north of Albany, flooding during high water event in January, 2012. 11 Trails Website– Conservation & Community Connecting People to Nature Continued from Front Page Whether jogging along the dirt switchbacks on Marys Peak, hiking up the side of Fitton Green or Dimple Hill, or strolling to the overlook at Chip Ross Park, trails are a significant part of our daily lives here in the mid-Valley. funding from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board, Bonneville Power Administration and the Meyer Memorial Trust. With all of the trails in our backyard, we are lacking a central database and publicly accessible website for users to learn about the myriad trail networks throughout Benton County. Trail enthusiasts are currently tasked with combining maps, recreation books, and agency websites to learn about trail accessibility and connectivity. The Willamette River is a priority focus for Greenbelt Land Trust. Over the next year we will be working with an additional 4 landowners to expand the footprint of conservation at Harkens Lake and on a critical reach of river between Corvallis and Albany. By protecting key parcels along the River, we are working towards the larger goal of ensuring healthy water, farms, and communities in the mid-Willamette Valley. Greenbelt Land Trust (along with Benton County Natural Areas and Parks, City of Corvallis Parks and Recreation, and OSU College Forests) has been working to initiate a comprehensive and interactive site to expand outreach on our beloved network of trails to a diverse public. With this new site you will be able to identify a trail that fits your needs and abilities, access trailheads, and learn about any ecological and cultural values associated with area trails. Bald Hill Farm After nearly two years of due diligence on this project, GLT and project partners are in the process of seeking grant funding to cover the cost of the site’s development and launch – with an estimated public unveiling by early 2013. Keep an eye out for updates on this exciting project! Connecting people to nature … it’s what we do. A LASTING LEGACY We are dedicated to protecting the lands forever that you care about today. Demetrios Jameson, “Yaquina Head”, 1957, Oil on canvas, 4’x2’ A Work of Art “His life was art, and art was his life” – Ron Jameson. In May, 2011 Ron Jameson contacted Greenbelt Land Trust (GLT) to talk about how he and his wife, Gwen, could support the Campaign for Bald Hill Farm. Ron and Gwen are deeply invested in the property, and walk its 3 miles of public trails daily. After deep consideration, Ron decided that he would be interested in donating a painting from his father, renowned Pacific Northwestern artist, Demetrios Jameson that represented the Oregon that the artist loved so well. Demetrios’ artwork hangs in venerable museums across the country, from Portland to New York, and is highly desired by collectors within the American Modernist Movement. Are you an art lover? Do you want to support the Campaign for Bald Hill Farm? For $5,000 (below estimated value) you can own a beautiful piece of Northwestern art history, while contributing to a great cause. All proceeds go directly to the acquisition of Bald Hill Farm. For more information, contact Jessica McDonald at (541) 752.9609. 10 Greenbelt Land Trust is working to leave a legacy on the natural landscape of our region. If you share our vision of protecting and enhancing the special natural places of the Willamette valley, with thoughtful planning you can create your own family legacy or community success story by including a charitable gift in support of our work as a part of your estate plans. “Because we love this area and the surrounding open spaces, we chose to include Greenbelt in our estate plan. We know that the Greenbelt is committed to protecting our natural areas forever. We want to be a part of that promise to our community so that future generations can continue to enjoy the things that drew us here.” ~ Betty and Bob Griffiths As Greenbelt looks back over the last year, we are filled with reflections of Bald Hill Farm. This special place has become a second home for GLT Staff – we have walked every square inch of the land, led over 40 tours of the property, and provided access for hundreds of people to experience the majestic valley vistas from the Farm’s uppermost prairies. We have communed with friendly cows, negotiated past turkeys and walked the property in every weather, from the densest foggy February morning to the hottest August afternoon. Throughout the last year we have also discovered just how important this 587 acre Farm is to our community, with an outpouring of support shown in response to a County-wide fundraising appeal in May. Countless stories have emerged from families, hikers, bicyclists, equestrians – sharing personal reminiscences of the land and reasons for supporting the preservation of Bald Hill Farm. From childhood recollections of gathering mistletoe at Bald Hill, to wildlife encounters on Mulkey Ridge, we all connect deeply with this special place. With $845,000 raised towards our goal of $2 million, Greenbelt will be working over the next year to complete the Campaign for Bald Hill Farm, ultimately using the $2 million as leveraging funds to match against $3 million in grant funding that has been applied for. We have great expectations that with the support of the community Campaign we will be able to obtain the grant funding necessary to complete the acquisition of Bald Hill Farm by our deadline of October, 2013. The next time you step out of your car at the Oak Creek parking lot to Bald Hill Natural Area, your feet quickly hitting the dirt trail, take a moment to breathe in the pastoral beauty and to reflect on what this property means to you, and what it means to the future of our community. Greg Fitzpatrick Every year since its conservation in 2005 Greenbelt Land Trust has hosted a Lupine Meadows Open House in late May, inviting the public to this sensitive property to see the wondrous little Fender’s blue butterfly in flight and learn about the ecology and beauty of endangered upland prairie habitats. And for the last five years Greg has volunteered to lead this tour, his butterfly net in hand. After working for The Nature Conservancy for over 10 years on prairie restoration, Greg has become our resident expert in all things prairie, volunteering his time to provide the public a small glimpse into the fragile ecosystems of Lupine Meadows. Thank You Greg, for all that you do for Greenbelt Land Trust! 2011 Charles Ross Award Prisha d’Andrade On any given day, if you go to Bald Hill Natural Area, you are likely to cross paths with Prisha d’Andrade. Quietly walking the trails, she has become familiar with every tree, slough and meadow and has taken an active role in ensuring that the trails and land she loves is preserved for the future. Whether this former librarian is attending tours and events (8 last year alone!), or going door to door in her neighborhood to share information about the Campaign for Bald Hill Farm, she demonstrates a determination to seeing the land and wildlife that use it preserved. Greenbelt Land Trust proudly awards this year’s Charles Ross Award to Prisha for being an exemplary and proactive advocate of our natural areas.
