The Birds & Blooms team would like to thank a number of individuals and groups who made this project possible.
We are thankful to everyone at Dorris Ranch and the Willamalane Park and Recreation District for allowing us to use their property to have such a valuable learning experience, and to all the nice folks we met who interacted with us at Dorris Ranch to ask about our project.
