Watershed Restoration Stewardship
Lost Creek Valley

The Lost Valley Nature Center is located right along Lost Creek, which is a part of the Watershed of the Middle Fork of the Willamette River. After 16 years on the land, the residents of the Lost Valley Nature Center have decided to focus upon developing it as an environmental education site. Not only have they done riparian restoration planting, but they have built an extensive trail system throughout the property and have regular programs that include walks, talks and other nature study opportunities.
