Stewardship Work Party: Johnson Lake

Save to Favorites

Johnson Lake has experienced a number of changes over the last century. It was a popular swimming hole until the Vanport flood of 1948 which flooded the lake and made it murky. Since then the lake has experienced pollution, but clean-up projects - in fact, the Council’s very first native planting - have helped to restore the property surrounding the lake. Continue to contribute to the health of the Johnson Lake natural area with us by casting native plant seeds. It’s a three step process that includes roughing up the soil, casting seed, and covering the planting area with mulch. This is a great activity for families and groups. Join us!
