This grant is for the recovery of critical Willamette Valley prairie and oak habitats, which are among the rarest ecosystems in the U.S. These vital habitats have significantly declined due to factors such as fire suppression, urban and agricultural development, and the invasion of non-native weeds, with less than 1% of prairie and 10% of oak habitat remaining compared to historical levels. Consequently, a multitude of associated species are now imperiled. This includes five threatened and endangered plant species, two federally listed butterflies, and one federally listed bird, along with other rare plants, songbirds, and invertebrates. The purpose of this grant is to support comprehensive efforts aimed at restoring these essential ecosystems and ensuring the survival of their unique, dependent biodiversity.

| Description: | Willamette Valley prairie and oak habitats are some of the rarest ecosystems in the United States. A variety of factors have led to the decline of these habitats, including fire suppression, urban and agricultural development, and invasion of non-native weeds. With less than 1% of prairie habitat and less than 10% of oak habitat remaining (when compared to pre-European settlement conditions), it is no surprise that the species associated with and dependent upon these habitats are also imperiled. There are five threatened and endangered plant species, two federally listed butterflies, and one federally listed bird associated with Willamette Valley prairie and oak habitats, as well a myriad of additional rare plants, songbirds, invertebrates, and other species that call the prairies and oaks in the Willamette Valley home. |
