“Keeping the water clean is what keeps this state beautiful and healthy.” – Ken Kesey

Wetland restoration is underway! Known as “the swamp,” this area includes Pudding Creek, a fish-bearing waterway, and was once the resting place of the original Further.

We’re removing invasive species, planting native vegetation, and improving biodiversity and water quality to support local wildlife and watershed health.

Thanks to support from the Upper Willamette Soil & Water Conservation District, we have partnered with the Middle Fork Willamette Watershed Council, Walama Restoration Project, and Trillium Nursery to restore this ecosystem.
A lifelong conservationist, Ken Kesey cared deeply about Oregon’s landscapes and waterways, championing sustainable land practices and community collaboration.
