Explore the beauty and biodiversity of Sycan Marsh Preserve  on a guided botany walk through this stunning The Nature Conservancy (TNC) property. Nestled in the heart of Oregon’s high desert, Sycan Marsh is home to diverse plant communities, wetlands, and rich wildlife habitat.

This hike will be led by knowledgeable botanists, Rachel Werling (Siskiyou Chapter NPSO) and Sarah Ratay, (TNC Sycan Preserve Manager).  The hike will highlight native flora, wetland ecosystems, and conservation efforts in the preserve. Whether you're a seasoned plant enthusiast or just curious about the landscape, this is a great opportunity to learn and connect with nature.

Watch our 2022 Youtube Presentation on the Sycan Marsh as an introduction.

The hike will happen on May 10.  There will be an option to drive out the evening of May 9 for those who want to camp at the TNC preserve.  Details to follow.
