Watershed Restoration, Enhancement, & Assessment
The Oregon silverspot butterfly population is rapidly declining, and can only be found in very few populations, mostly due to loss of habitat. 2 small populations occur just south of Yachats, Oregon, within a seven-mile-long corridor along either side of Highway 101 – Bray Point/Agate Meadows and Rock Creek/Big Creek. The recovery goal of this project is to increase the availability of the butterfly’s habitat and boost the 2 small butterfly populations, ultimately reconnecting and stabilizing these populations.
