FOGNAP member Cindy Hines is building a new garden on the Butterfly/Pollinator Hill at the Nature Park, featuring "Top 11 Pollinator Plants Native to Gladstone." Please visit often to check out the progress on this wonderful, new addition to the Nature Park.

BIODIVERSITY IN AN OAK HABITAT
Native oak habitats are one of the most biologically diverse habitats in Oregon. Oaks support more insects than any other plant genus and more than 300 wildlife species. Also, oak habitats are one of the most threatened habitats. Less than 3% of Oregon’s original Oregon White oaks remain. Restoring a native oak habitat — such as the one at the Gladstone Nature Park — is an important undertaking. By planting native plant species on which native insects and wildlife depend and by removing invasive species and noxious weeds that choke out native species, the oak habitat can continue to support a diverse cycle of life: insects for baby birds, flowers for butterflies and other
pollinators, and acorns and seeds for wildlife.
