Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Located within the Howard Buford Recreation Area, Mount Pisgah Arboretum serves as a gateway to exploration in the lush environment of the Willamette Valley. The area features picturesque landscapes around the confluence of the Middle and Coast Forks of the Willamette River. Historically, the land has been home to diverse ecosystems and provides insights into the native flora and fauna of the region. Visitors can enjoy a network of trails that meander through meadows, fir forests, and riparian zones, allowing for birdwatching and nature photography opportunities. Educational programs and guided tours are available, providing information on ecological conservation and the history of the land. The arboretum is famous for its seasonal events, such as the Wildflower and Mushroom festivals, which celebrate the rich biodiversity of the area.
