Updates & Maps

July 2010   

1. We are unable to continue guided tours of the entire 3.5 botanic preserve until maintenance projects are completed.  Please check the website for updates in the Spring 2011 for tours during the blooming season.  Please check our Seasonal Tours page for upcoming events in October 2010.

2.  A Wheelchair Accessible Trail, called Jim's Loop, at the west end of the garden is open for tours By Appointment ONLY.  The wider trail is easier to walk for many visitors including parents with children, babies in strollers, and those who need a firmer, wider trail surface. There are a few steep grades which might require wheelchair assistance. Two benches placed along the loop offer opportunities to rest and listen to the nearby creek, distant ocean and birds in the forest.  Huge Thank Yous for all individual volunteer time, energy and donations, for grants and volunteer support from the Ford Family Foundation and the Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund.  For more info: Contact Us

3. The Public Footpath is open during daylight hours.  We caution hikers to take care in the wet creek areas, and bridge crossings.  This Public Footpath connects to other local hiking trails in the area. Hikers can walk along a sign posted path through the southern boundary of the property. The footpath crosses Mitchell Creek and a wetland area. There are new bridges and a boardwalk.  Users are reminded to stay on the sign posted trail.  All wildlife, plants, and waterways are protected.  Picking or collecting is prohibited.  To help protect plants and wildlife, pet owners are asked to keep pets at home.  We thank the City of Yachats and individual donors for providing funds to help offset expenses to complete this new public trail route through the botanic preserve which remains private property.
