Come join Columbia Slough Watershed Council in this region-wide event to rid our natural landscapes of the pesky weedy growing species, English ivy!

The event will take place at Wilkes Creek Natural Area and will focus on removing English ivy to improve this important natural area. Come and hang out with your neighbors and see who can pull the longest piece of ivy! Wilkes Creek is one of the only remaining surface creeks that still flows into the Columbia Slough, making it a critical freshwater source in the watershed. Work being done at this event will help protect the existing tree canopy and open areas for new native plant installation for the betterment of water quality and wildlife.

After the work party, join us to celebrate. There will be an after party at Forest Park or Mount Tabor Park from 12-1:30 including lunch and raffle prizes. For more information about celebrations, please contact Monica Hescheles monica.hescheles@portlandoregon.gov or 503-823-8367.
