The PCC-Rock Creek Campus includes a 110 acre wildlife preserve. This beautiful area of oaks, wetlands and upland Douglas Fir forest is the site of extensive restoration work by PCC teachers and students as well as Clean Water Services. SOLVE is working with the campus community to enhance approximately 5 acres of wetlands and bottomland forests. Volunteers will be planting native plants, coffee bagging, and mulching.

The site in Happy Valley follows the Mt Scott Creek stream corridor and Mt Scott Creek trail for approximately 500ft. Mt Scott Creek is home to native fish. Large cedar trees are numerous but English ivy and other weeds have invaded the stream corridor. With most of the weeds removed volunteers will be planting native trees and shrubs, including salmonberry and indian plum. Volunteers will also be mulching and removing remnant patches of English ivy. Native plants help shade the stream, prevent erosion and improve fish and wildlife habitat.
