The effort to preserve Oregon’s native species, the endangered Fenders blue butterfly and its threatened plant habitat, Kincaid’s lupine, is taking flight! As part of the OTIA III State Bridge Delivery Program, ODOT acquired and fenced off a little more than 14 acres of meadow near Philomath in 2012 to protect the Kincaid’s lupine. Earlier this week, Oregon State University and @USFWS biologists released “Blue No. 1” and 49 other Fender’s blue butterflies. Hats off to all Oregonians who come together to conserve our native species.
