Columbia Slough's Stewardship Saturday: Kelley Point Park

Saturday, January 23, 2016 - 9:00am to 12:00pm
Columbia Slough Watershed Council
Park/Trail: 

It's time to volunteer!

Volunteer to continue restoring Kelley Point Park with native species that provide habitat for native creatures and improve water quality! With your help, we've planted, mulched and cared for dozens of natives in the park over the last several years. For this event, we'll focus on removing invasive species and planting natives. We'll care for existing plants by adding mulch to help them retain moisture.

Students from our SERVE (Students Engaged in Restoring Vital Ecosystems) program have adopted this site and are actively helping us to restore the area while learning field science skills. Students and parents are welcome to join us as volunteers, too!

This event runs rain or shine! Be sure to dress for the weather and bring water, rain gear and sturdy shoes. Snacks, tools, training and gloves will be provided. This opportunity is open to volunteers 16 years and older unless accompanied by an adult. Unaccompanied volunteers under 18 should contact the Council for a special youth waiver.
