Alsea Falls Campground Oregon 5-2-17
We camped over night at Alsea Falls campground, it was a really nice, and recently renovated camp, had over a dozen sites with fresh gravel and wood fence around each camp spot, as well as clean pit toilets and potable water. It was the middle of the week and the first day of the open season, so everything was fresh and there were not many people camping yet. I did see many sites reserved for the coming weekend. The main entrance sign reads no reservations, but they have started doing them this year. It was $12 a night for a single camp, $20 for group camps. Alsea falls is a short hike away, and can also be accessed from a day use area with picknic tables and parking.

Marys River Natural Area: NRCS WRP Site
About 30 students from Philomath High School's Advance Botany class helped in restoration efforts at one of NRCS-Oregon's Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) conservation easements on May 11 in Corvallis.
Sara Stevens, an employee of the Institute for Applied Ecology (IAE) who manages the institute's Ecological Education Program, instructed and supervised the students in the planting of native shrubs to help stabilize the stream bank and also dozens of native grasses, sedges and rushes to help increase plant diversity.
This 74 acre site, called the Marys River Natural Area, has been in the WRP since 1996. It was originally privately owned but was later purchased by the City of Corvallis. Besides IAE, and the City of Corvallis, major partners in restoration of this project include the, Marys River Watershed Counsel, US Fish and Wildlife, and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.
NRCS Oregon currently has over 120 easements totaling approximately 57,000 acres enrolled in the WRP across the state.
