These maps are treasures 😍

During “Oxbow Island Expedition,” young explorers wandered nature trails, followed wildlife clues, tasted native berries, learned to use a compass, and mapped the things that caught their attention along the way.

A “big fat slug.” Salmonberries (“yum!”). Elk footprints. Cedar waxwings.

We LOVE sharing this landscape with neighbors of all ages (and species)! You’re invited to explore it, too, during our FREE Discovery Days on Friday & Saturday, August 7–8. Details at the link in bio or bit.ly/oxbow-discovery.

Will the elk join the Tube Man in our pumpkin patch, or sit this dance out?

(We’re hoping for the latter)

📣A quick schedule update: Our team is a little short-handed this summer, so we’re shifting to Saturday-only Plant Stand and site hours through Labor Day while we keep the nursery growing.

Stop by on Saturdays between 10AM and 4PM to browse native plants, enjoy the trails, attend workshops, and spend time outdoors with us.

Looking ahead, we’re excited to welcome you back with 65+ native plant species for our Fall Native Plant Festival on Saturday, October 3. The Plant Stand will also be open during Oxtober Fall Festival (Saturdays & Sundays, October 17, 18, 24 & 25).

P.S. We’re hiring! Want to help grow the native plants that fill our nursery and support healthy ecosystems across our region? Explore current openings at the link in bio or oxbow.org/jobs
