Restore Pendleton Creek! (age 10+) Referral
Volunteer Opportunity
Learn about how native and invasive plants impact our watersheds in different ways while learning how to remove English ivy.
About the Program
The Westside Watershed Resource Center inspires action and awareness on behalf of watershed health. By participating in this hands-on restoration event, habitat and water quality will be improved in both Pendleton Creek and the greater Fanno Creek watershed.
About the Project
We’ll focus on removing English ivy along Pendleton Creek and freeing native plants and trees from its grip. We’ll be working on uneven ground, so please wear closed-toed, sturdy shoes and weather-appropriate clothing. Tools, gloves, instruction, and refreshments will be provided. Please bring your own water bottle. This event will happen rain or shine.
Children 10+ are welcome, if accompanied by an attentive adult. Youth 16+ may attend independently with parent permission.
Accessibility: This event will require bending over and walking on uneven surfaces.
