Meet Your Watershed: Wilkes Creek Planting (age 12+) *MLK 2012*
Be one of 2,100 volunteers honoring the legacy of Dr. King through meaningful service to communities throughout the Greater Portland area.
Have you met Wilkes Creek? It’s one of few surface streams in the watershed, and quite a beauty. The Columbia Slough Watershed Council will be hosting a down and dirty planting party along a 2 acre section of the creek, just downstream of the headwaters. A strong group of community members and organizations have been stewarding the site since 2003, removing weeds and litter and planting hundreds of native plants. Come out this MLK Day weekend to ensure that this natural area continues to thrive with community support.
What to bring: Tools and gloves will be provided, but participants should come prepared for all weather conditions. It could be wet, very wet.
