Black Oak Basin Land Management Plan
Weigh in on our draft land management plan for one of our newest additions to the park system, Black Oak Basin. The addition of BOB creates a complex of nearly 300 connected acres of city parkland with neighboring Coryell Ridge and Moon Mountain. Hendricks Park and the Ribbon Trail are a short ¼-mile away. The three connected parks are home to excellent examples of rare Willamette Valley oak and prairie habitat and provide a meaningful conservation opportunity close to our urban center. The land management plan strives to balance opportunities for public access while prioritizing habitat protection.
