McCarthy Creek flows into the Multnomah Channel and eventually into the Columbia River.  It's an important tributary but it's been a dumping ground of trash and debris from householdsand roadway accidents in the west hills for many years.  All of this debris harms fish and other wildlife habitat.  We want to restore water quality and habitat so that cutthroat trout, salmon and other native wildlife such as red-legged frogs can thirve again in the creek.

Beside picking up trash and debris, we'll be removing invasive weeds such as ivy, vinca and herb Robert from the areas around the creek.

We need your help!!
