August 20th, 5:45 PM – 6:45 PM: Kellogg Walking Tour

Join us on Thursday, August 20th from 5:45 – 6:45 p.m., for a walking tour of the Kellogg Creek Restoration and Community Enhancement Project site! Learn more about this exciting project, its benefits for our community and urban wildlife, and the project timeline. We will meet at Milwaukie Bay Park, where we can see Kellogg Dam, to talk about its history and ecological impact. The tour will continue along the Trolley Trail, where we can get a good view of the Kellogg Impoundment, and discuss how that area will change once it has been restored. In total, participants can expect to travel less than a 1/2 mile, on paved sidewalks. Register here or email Peyton at peyton@ncwatersheds.org.
