Description

Kingston Prairie provides an excellent example of native plant diversity and grassland bird habitat. Rare plants such as the federally endangered Bradshaw’s lomatium and Willamette daisy are found on the property. Western meadowlarks, while rare in the Willamette Valley, are common residents of the Kingston Prairie area and at least three pairs of western meadowlarks have been documented to breed every year on the site. For additional information, visit Greenbelt Land Trust, which owns and manages the Preserve.

Directions

Make your way to the town of Kingston, which is several miles SE of Stayton. At the junction of Kingston-Jordan Road and Kingston-Lyons Drive, turn east onto Kingston-Lyons Drive. Follow this road 1.6 miles and look for the Preserve on your left.
