The Willamette Valley's oak habitats are now extremely rare with only 2-3% remaining. Some of the trees in this special area are 150-300 years old.
The wetlands in Videra Oak Meadow are part of the watershed that flows into Videra Creek, which is one of the headwaters of Amazon Creek, sustaining native plants and wildflowers in addition to the wildlife.
This meadow provides food, water and shelter and is a vital wildlife corridor for deer, foxes, turkeys and other wildlife.
This property is unique in that it contains both oak savanna and upper woodland wetlands.
Purchasing this property gives us an opportunity to build an interpretive trail that tells the story of this beautiful habitat.
