In November 2024 we shared stories and insights from over twenty years of working with native plants in the Columbia River Gorge during a zoom presentation hosted by the Native Plant Society of Oregon-Portland Chapter. Encouraging gardeners to plant native plants to support biodiversity, creating pollinator corridors, saving rare plants, and partnering with land trusts on many restoration projects are just a few of the things we spoke about. View this presentation on the Native Plant Society of Oregon-Portland Chapter's YouTube channel.
