Planting Work Party at Willamette Mission, 2/10/18

What: You are invited to join Willamette Riverkeeper and Oregon State Parks staff in planting and mulching native trees and shrubs along the edge of a new floodplain forest. We will enjoy a morning of peace and quiet at Willamette Mission State Park. You will also learn more about the important role of floodplain forests and how we have been working to improve these habitats in the Willamette Valley.

This event is free and family friendly!

Where: The park's main entrance has opened since we first posted this event. We can now drive directly to the planting site from the main entrance. Drive in, and cross over the channel. Keep going straight until you see our Riverkeeper sign in a parking lot to your left.

When: Please arrive by 9:30 am to check in. We will be walking about 20 min down a paved bike trail to reach the planting area.  You should be able to return to the parking area by 12:30 pm.
 
Bring: Dress appropriately for winter weather (such as a rain coat, rain pants, warm hat, and extra layers). Tall rubber boots are highly recommended! Bring water and snacks. We will provide tools and work gloves.
