Spread seed in Sandy and help put the "tickle" in Tickle Creek. The Clackamas River Basin Council has partnered with the Oregon Department of State Lands and the City of Sandy to improve the Sandy Wetlands along Tickle Creek. To date, we've planted over 1,500 native trees, shrubs, and wetland plants. These native plants will help filter runoff from nearby neighborhoods before it flows into the nearby creek. We'll be hard at work again on Saturday, November 1st from 9 am to noon planting native wetland species and spreading seed. Join us for this family-friendly event!

Gloves, tools, first aid, water, plants, and instruction provided. Please be sure to dress appropriately for all weather conditions and terrain. You may want to bring your favorite work gloves, waterproof boots, rain jacket, water bottle, long plants and long sleeve shirt. All volunteers must sign a waiver.

Directions: Traveling NE on Hwy 211, turn right on Dubarko Rd., then right onto Jacoby Rd. (395th Ave.). Travel .01 miles. Wetland is on left side of road. VIEW MAP.
