The park is beautiful this time of year. What a great time to help our native species regain the park. This month will continue restoring the area along Heron Creek Loop Trail. Come see what a difference a few people on a mission can make.
Please join us. We provide tools, gloves, and snacks. We meet next to the shed in the grave parking lot across from the ball fields. Look for SOLVE signs. Please dress for working in a heavily forested area. We recommend long pants and long sleeve shirts. We work rain or shine.
We are dedicated to the restoration of the riparian habitat for conservation education, recreation, and enjoyment. We work in cooperation with the City of West Linn, Parks and Recreation and SOLVE. We have a vision to return part of the park to its native habitat. With the removal of invasive plants, the reintroducing of appropriate native plants, and the restoration of stream beds, the flora and fauna is returning to its near original native state.
