Phillips Creek, located near 82nd ave and the Clackamas Town Center Mall has been a SOLVE site for the past eight years. The creek historically has been a dumping ground and largely ignored by the community. Volunteers have removed tires, shopping carts, furniture, and plastics. With the help of La Salle HS Green Team students and community volunteers the creek is being revived. Volunteers will be planting native plants near the new Monterey Ave road extension.

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.
