Plant Trees with SOLV in NE Portland on Sat. Nov. 17

News
Brett Lyon writes "Plant Trees and help restore the Wilkes Creek and Columbia Slough watershed in NE Portland at SOLV’s Team Up For Watershed Health sites on Saturday, November 17. Plantings start at 9 am and end by 12 pm.

Wilkes Creek is spring fed and runs year round with cool clean water. It is a tributary to the Columbia Slough, and one of the only fresh water streams left in the watershed. The site was once dominated by large western red cedar, red osier dogwood and sword fern. It is owned by the local homeowners association and is being held as a conservation easement by the City of Portland, homeowners, and the Wilkes Neighborhood Association. Project partners include the Riverview Village Homeowner’s Association, the Wilkes Community Group, and the City of Portland Bureau of Environmental Services.

For more information and to register visit the Team up For Watershed Health Website, http://www.solv.org/programs/teamup_watershed_heal th.asp, event information is found at the very bottom of the page. You can also contact Brett Lyon at 503-844-9571 x 332 or brett@solv.org. Put on your boots, grab a shovel, and come dig in! We hope to see you out in your watershed!"
