Restore native plants at Echo Lake Park!
ORGANIZATION: Forterra
Please visit the new page to apply.
Join us to support ongoing restoration work at Echo Lake Park! Parts of the park are currently overrun by invasive grass species which out-compete more ecologically beneficial local species. On Saturday, June 25, we’ll be covering these grassy areas with cardboard and mulch so that the grasses die off. This will prepare the area to be replanted in the fall. Join us to learn about introduced and local species and how you can support your community’s parks!

Mission Statement
Forterra's mission is to act with immediacy to protect, enhance and steward our region's most precious resources--its communities and its landscapes. Since 1989, we have been working toward a future in which our children and grandchildren can experience nature in and around our urban environments.
Description
Forterra conserves land by working with individuals, companies and local governments. We strive to maximize the ecological value of land, while meeting the needs of landowners. We may accept land as a donation, purchase it, or transfer it to public ownership. We often serve as a broker to identify and negotiate the most effective ownership to protect important lands. We establish conservation easements to preserve special features. For each and every property, we explore available strategies or create new ones to provide permanent protection. Forterra has established a Conservation Agenda for our region, with specific priorities and methods for each type of landscape. Current initiatives include the protection of working forests on the foothills of the Cascades, and the creation of salmon sanctuaries along our region's highest quality rivers and streams.
