September 26th, 9:30 AM – Noon: Macroinvertebrate Monitoring Volunteer Training
We are looking for volunteers to support the Kellogg Creek Student Macroinvertebrate Monitoring Program! Help students 6th-12th grade collect and identify creek critters, as part of our long-term water quality monitoring program for the Kellogg Creek Restoration and Community Enhancement Project! Our volunteers have played a critical role in helping to inspire and provide hands-on, outdoor, scientific learning opportunities for local students. For more information on this volunteer opportunity and to register for the training, check out our volunteer page here.
October 1st, 5:30 PM – 6:30 PM: 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.
Event Details:
- When: October 1st, 2026 from 5:30 to 6:30 pm
- Where: Meet in front of the Ledding Library (10660 SE 21st Ave, Milwaukie, OR 97222).
- What to bring: Comfortable shoes, water bottle, and a rain jacket.
