Hedges Creek Planting
Tualatin, OR
10:00 AM-1:00 PM

We are kicking off our planting season and we hope you will join us!  World Wetlands Day is February 2 and we will be celebrating all month with native planting parties!  Snacks and tools provided.  
 

Also during the month of February, we will be co-hosting a worldwide wetlands photo contest for 15-24 year olds with the Ramsar Convention (an international treaty to ensure the conservation and wise use of wetlands everywhere).  Submit your wetland photo during World Wetlands Month and win a trip to a wetland of your choice, anywhere in the world!  Bring a friend, plant a tree, and take a picture to submit to the photo contest with us!  

To sign up, or ask questions about the event, or if you are under 18, contact our volunteer coordinator Courtney at courtneywilson@wetlandsconservancy.org.

Hope to see you there!

Return to Wilkes City Park to care for the native plantings that we put in during the Winter! Without proper care, our little plants won't survive the dry summer. Exact maintenance activities are to be determined. Check our website for developments, or better yet, register for the event on our website and receive an update via email.

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. Volunteers under 18 should contact the Council for a special youth waiver.

Help us continue our work along the Peninsula Crossing Trail! Over the last planting season the Council, local students and teams of volunteers have planted hundreds of native species along the trail, creating habitat for native birds, bugs and other Slough fauna - not to mention great sights for trail travelers! The maintenance and upkeep of these plantings is essential until the plants can fend for themselves. Lend and hand! Exact activities are yet to be determined, but we'll likely weed and spread mulch. Register to receive details about the event as they become available.
