November 7th, 9:00 AM – Noon: Kellogg Creek Stewardship Saturday
Join us for Stewardship Saturdays along Kellogg Creek on November 7th (and the first Saturday of every month) from 9 am to noon! We are going to be working on removing invasive plants to improve habitat along the soon-to-be restored Lower Kellogg Creek in the Milwaukie Presbyterian Church Outdoor Sanctuary. No experience necessary, tools, coffee and light snacks provided!
November 14th, 9 AM – 11 AM: 3 Creeks Walking Tour
Join us for a tour of the 3 Creeks Protected Area, an 88 acre natural area within our watersheds that is home to 3 different creeks! Along the way, we will wander through a variety of habitat types, including wetlands, riparian forest, and Oregon white oak habitat. We will also get to see some of the recent changes at the site as part of the Clackamas Water Environment Services restoration in Mt. Scott Creek, and discuss how their work will improve water quality and habitat in Mt. Scott Creek. If you have ever been interested in checking out this natural area, or are already familiar with the space and want to learn more about the restoration being completed there, we hope to see you there!
November 15th, 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM: Rain to River Walking Tour
Join us for a walking tour through Milwaukie to explore how rainwater moves through our communities.
Along the way, we’ll visit examples of rain gardens, unique infrastructure, native plantings, and learn about the role these features play in managing stormwater and supporting watershed health. We’ll also stop to appreciate local art inspired by our rivers and watersheds.
We’ll share a few ways you can connect with watershed health in your neighborhood, from planting native plants and creating habitat at home to volunteering with local restoration and community science projects.
