Project details
Join Portland Parks & Receration and the Westside Watershed Resource Center for an evening learning about Fanno Creek and English ivy removal at this little natural area that Fanno Creek runs through on its way to the Tualatin River. Fanno Creak is a 15-mile long meandering urban stream that supports native fish species such as sculpin and coastal cutthroat trout. We will walk a short distance from the road to a flat, wooded area along the creek to remove ivy.

Here are a few tips to get you ready for your stewardship event.
- Stay home if you are experiencing symptoms of any contagious illness or have had recent contact with someone exhibiting symptoms of any illness.
- In order to ensure your comfort and safety, please remember to dress for the weather, wear close-toed shoes, bring a water bottle, and be ready to get dirty!
- Unless otherwise noted, all events are family-friendly and all ages are welcome to participate. However, children must be accompanied and supervised by an adult for the duration of the event. We encourage you to attend events with members of your household/family!
- While groups are welcome to join many of our regularly scheduled stewardship events, please contact the event coordinator listed in the description before registering with a large group. A large group is 10 or more people. To support large groups, we may need to schedule additional staff or find alternate days to volunteer to safely support each participant. We are also available to schedule special service events at your group's convenience during the week or on weekends. Learn more about programs for groups.
