Plant Trees with SOLV in Beaverton on Sat. Nov. 17

News
Brett Lyon writes "Plant Trees and help restore the Beacon Hill Wetland and Johnson Creek Watershed in Beaverton at SOLV’s Team Up For Watershed Health sites on Saturday, November 17. Plantings start at 9 am and end by 12 pm.

The Beacon Hill Wetlands complex is near the headwaters of Johnson Creek, which, at Beacon Hill becomes an open water pond. The 3-acre pond is surrounded by a narrow band of wetlands ranging from 5 to nearly 100 feet in width. Most of the vegetation is non-native grasses with small patches of Himalayan blackberry, and the pond is without shade, so these tree plantings are very important if Beacon Hill is going to be a good habitat for wildlife. Project partners are Metro Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District, and Clean Water Services.

For more information and to register visit the Team up For Watershed Health Website, http://www.solv.org/programs/teamup_watershed_heal th.asp, event information is found at the very bottom of the page. You can also contact Brett Lyon at 503-844-9571 x 332 or brett@solv.org. Put on your boots, grab a shovel, and come dig in! We hope to see you out in your watershed!"
