Run for the Oaks

Run for the Oaks

This is the 10th annual Run for the Oaks at Left Coast Cellars! The course will predominantly be on gravel roads or off-road with trail and paved road segments. The run will meander throughout the Left Coast Cellars estate and runners will pass oak forests, vineyards, and gardens with spectacular views of the Willamette Valley. This run has been created to raise funds for our Oak Savanna Restoration Project. The goal of the project is to model how ecological integrity can coincide with responsible industry.

The Oak Savanna Restoration Project
Left Coast Cellars has over 100 acres of ecological compensation areas and 70 acres of old growth oak forest. Through time the forest has become populated with invasive species and our goal is to restore the forest to a native oak savanna. We have partnered with the US Fish and Wildlife Service. They will provide the technical expertise for the restoration as well as help us to match any funds we are able to raise ourselves with Federal and State grants. The forest will be a permanent wildlife refuge in the center of our estate and create habitat for native plants, wildlife, birds, and insects as well as improving the watershed.
