We provide: Tools, gloves, hot cocoa, coffee and snacks.

What to bring: Water bottle, snack, extra clothing, shoes for the ride home, and camera or binoculars if desired.

What to wear: Dress for the weather; clothes may get wet and muddy. Long sleeves, pants, rain gear and sturdy shoes or boots are recommended.

Linnton Creek Project for June

Address: 
10682 NW St Helens Road.
Portland, OR 97231
United States
Park/Trail: 

Linnton Creek is a principle stream in Forest Park, one of the main trail heads in the north end of the park, and its confluence with the Willamette River will have a new lagoon, as part of the the 27 acre Linnton Plywood Mill site's restoration as animal habitat (a Superfund mitigation site). We are restoring the creek trail head, removing ivy and blackberry, planting natives, and installing an interpretive sign, trash can and custom (and amusing) dog waste bag dispenser designed by noted artist Ivan McLean. Part of a broad effort to eliminate dog waste from the park, this site is particularly important as the creek will flow into a new lagoon designed as a resting place for salmon fry, where clean water will be crucial. At the moment the main effort is ivy removal and the planting of almost 300 native plants. Hot and cold beverages, pastries, tools and gloves are provided. We'll be having a celebration of the project's completion in June. Activities include: Invasive Plant Removal, Native Planting.

This serene several acre piece of property is in a mixed residential/commercial neighborhood but has been covered with blackberries, ivy, laurel and other non-natives. Gradually we have gotten rid of much of it and have been planting natives. Still, there is much to do to make it the nativescape we desire for the habitation of birds, animals, insects, and people - both our members and guests and the neighbors whom we invite to enjoy it. We will have light refreshments throughout and the coffeepot is always on. There will be a number of our members there to work with you. Activities include: Invasive Plant Removal, Litter Cleanup, Native Planting.
