Foster Floodplain Natural Area - Watershed Wide Event

Project details: Get involved with Portland Parks and Recreation and Johnson Creek Watershed Council to plant native plants. No experience necessary and everyone is welcome! A diversity of native plants supports a diversity of insects and wildlife, providing clean air and water in our city. Ecological enhancement of this area provides cleaner air for community members and cleaner water in Johnson Creek, which supports salmon and other water creatures.
