Project Objectives

Benton County encompasses some of the highest quality remaining prairie and oak savanna remnants in Oregon. In spring of 2006, Benton County received a grant from the US Fish and Wildlife Service to develop a Habitat Conservation Plan.

This project will allow the County to:

• Expand upon current conservation efforts by increasing restoration opportunities on County and other private lands
• Provide long-term protection of sensitive species and habitats
• Develop a more economical and ecological approach to species conservation and mitigation

The County and its citizenry are committed to creating a sustainable community for present and future residents.

List of Species in the Plan

• Fender's Blue Butterfly
• Taylor's Checkerspot
• Kincaid's Lupine
• Willamette Daisy
• Bradshaw's Lomatium
• Nelson's Checkermallow
• Peacock Larkspur
