Riparian restoration and wildfire risk reduction at the Willow Wind Community Learning Center ramped up again this Saturday. We're proud to build on the legacy of stewardship @lomakatsi_restoration_project began at Willow Wind more than 25 years ago, and on the hundreds of hours of work by our wonderful community partners and students put in last year.
This season's work is powered by @nwyouthcorps, funded through the State's Oregon Conservation Corps, with coordination and support from the @CityofAshland. The students will continue learning from Willow Wind staff and @Southern-Oregon-Forest-Restoration-Collaborative educators, supported with key funding from @jswcd
Thank you to everyone who made this happen!

Today we gathered to release 4 of the monarch butterflies raised at Willow Wind this fall. Each new monarch was named by the class. The one pictured here is Bill Nye the Butterfly!

So exciting!

Summer Learning in Action!
We are two-thirds of the way through our summer learning program, and students have had the opportunity to practice homesteading, make pasta, learn lacrosse, try yoga and engage in many other fun activities!
We are grateful to the teachers and staff who have made this program possible, and especially to our students for bringing their curiosity, energy and enthusiasm each day!
