This restoration plan outlines restoration activities to occur at Metro’s Canemah Bluff Natural Area.  The plan is limited to the prairie, savanna, and Oregon white oak (Quercus garryana) woodland habitats

This restoration plan outlines restoration activities to occur at Metro’s Canemah Bluff Natural Area.  The plan is limited to the prairie, savanna, and Oregon white oak (Quercus garryana) woodland habitats present on approximately 20 acres at Canemah.  The plan is intended to guide the enhancement of prairie and oak woodland habitats with the goal of increasing the diversity and abundance of native grass and forb species and decreasing the cover of non-native and invasive species.   Special attention will be given to the augmentation of Delphinium leucophaeum (white rock larkspur).   Restoration will be implemented over many years at Canemah.
