Stewardship Work Party: Wilkes Creek Headwaters

Save to Favorites

Restoring headwater habitat, the habitat at the source of a river or stream, is an important part of the waterway restoration process. Wilkes Creek flows into the Columbia Slough, so its protection is part of a greater effort to keep the Slough healthy. We’ll plant native plants and protect them with mulch. We’ll also care for previously planted plants by weeding and mulching and removing invasive species like English ivy and Himalayan blackberry.

This event runs rain or shine! Be sure to dress for the weather and bring water, rain gear and sturdy shoes. Snacks, tools, training and gloves will be provided. Registration for this event is requested.
