What
do you think about the plan? It's never been easier to give us your input. Willamalane Park and Recreation District is now working on an update for the Dorris Ranch Living History Farm Master Plan to determine how it should be developed and managed over the next 20 years. The plan will reflect the community’s and Willamalane’s vision for the unique resources, facilities and activities found at Dorris Ranch.
We want to know what you think! We are eager for feedback from community members who have an interest in the direction of Dorris Ranch. We have created an online questionnaire to help us determine future improvements, programming, and events at this unique public park.
Click
here to fill out the online survey . There are 22 questions in
the survey.
In early summer, a draft master plan will be available for public review and a public open house will take place. Learn more by visiting the Dorris Ranch web site.

Learn
about 21 locations in Springfield where you can find and observe birds. In some locations, birds can be observed from a parking area. In others, you will want to go on a short walk to observe the local birds. Several locations have more extensive path systems or open spaces that you can explore. In many of these areas, you might see other wildlife. These are typically quiet places to simply walk and relax, also.
