MB&G staff spent time last week celebrating our 100th anniversary by planting oak trees in our centennial grove as part of a native oak restoration project. Four Oregon white oaks, one Willamette Valley Ponderosa pine, Camas seeds, and other native herbs and shrubs were planted to convert the area back to an oak prairie. MB&G also took the opportunity to bury a time capsule to commemorate the centennial event and leave for future generations of MB&G staff to open.
MB&G adopted a section of Highway 22 in 2022 to maintain as part of our established community service program. This section of Highway 22 has a particularly sentimental meaning for our team as it is where our field work started on the ODOT Hazard Debris Removal project in the Beachie Creek fire corridor in December 2020 and includes several sensitive resources including a large wetland. MB&G did their fourth formal clean up on Earth Day and here are some great photos from the event.
