                    AN EXCITING WAY TO SPEND YOUR FREE TIME

    Need some fresh air?  Want to get outside more often?  Do you want to be a

part of an exciting project?  Well, the Butte Falls Ranger District has an

offer for you.

    We have had such great support from horse groups such as Easy Gaiters,

Northwest Trail Riders from Crescent City, Oregon Mr. Longears, Jackson Co.

Horseman's Assoc., and the Grants Pass Bush Riders that we are now optimistic

about opening the areas only horse camp at Willow Prairie this Labor Day

weekend.  

    We couldn't have completed this project without the support of our

volunteer force.  Forest Service volunteer workdays brought out campground

Hosts and other employees wanting to see this horsecamp open this year.

Everyone working together for this common goal has finally brought a light to

the end of the tunnel.

    The horsecamp has a total of ten sites and each site has one to two

corrals.  The camp has well water and easy access to Butte Falls Hwy. and Hwy.

140.

    Our last two volunteer workdays will be August 15th and 16th.  If you would

like to come out and lend a hand, call the district office, 503-865-3581, and

ask for Carrie Driskell or Bob Reavis.

    The Butte Falls Ranger District is in the process of another visitor

attraction.  An interpretive trail at Whiskey Springs Campground that will be

accessible to all - especially the disabled.  The trail's setting is cool and

green with so much to see in only 1.5 miles!  The trail is barrier free, four

ft. wide with a foot bridge and viewing decks at the edge of the water.  And a

wildlife viewing platform!  From this platform you will be able to see a beaver

colony and the new species of animals this colony has brought into the area.                                      "MORE"

T6

    Along the trail, plants, trees, wildlife and the beautiful spring will be

interpreted on fiberglass embedded silk screened signs.  For the bird watchers,

Wood Duck houses donated by the Ore. Dept. of Fish and Wildlife and songbird

houses built by district employees bring in various types of birds.

    So much to do with so little time and so little money.  If you could help

us with trail installation and/or other various projects please call the office

and ask for Carrie Driskell or Bob Reavis, 503-865-3581.
