Join us for our 6th annual Watershed Wide Event! This is our largest volunteer effort and we will be hosting 10 different restoration sites. We need your help planting native species and removing invasives in the Tryon Creek watershed.

Event kickoff will start at 11:30am with refreshments and registration at the Lake Oswego Church of Christ. Once registration is complete, volunteers will divide into groups and travel to their assigned restoration site to get their hands dirty and improve the Tryon Creek riparian habitat.

This is a great opportunity to give back to this critical urban watershed. As a volunteer, you will get to see parts of the Tryon Creek watershed not commonly seen by the public, participate in hands-on restoration, and meet other environmentally-minded people in your community. We hope you will be able to join us!

 Activities include: Invasive Plant Removal, Native Planting.
