Mt. Hebo is currently one of the only locations you can find the endangered Silverspot butterfly. These are currently being studied and monitored by researchers from Pacific University– if you see officials wandering around catching butterflies on Mt. Hebo, they’re probably looking for these critters to mark them. This is a good reason also to be very careful if you are visiting wild meadows – they are delicate ecosystems and damage easily.
