Plant Trees and help restore the Osborn Creek watershed in Fairview at SOLV’s Team Up For Watershed Health site as part of the Intel-SOLV Clean and Green project on Saturday, October 11. Plantings start at 9 am and end by 12 pm.

Osborn Creek is one of the few spring-fed tributaries of the Columbia Slough. Development has encroached on the riparian - stream corridor helping the spread of non-native invasive plants including: English ivy, Himalayan blackberry, and Purple nightshade. There are numerous large Western red Cedar and Douglas fir as well as Black cottonwood trees nearby and beaver have been active at this site. It has great potential as a source of cool, clean water for the Slough. Project Partners include the City of Fairview, Metro’s Nature in the Neighborhoods program, and the Columbia Slough Watershed Council who will have a representative at the site to talk about their work in the area and the unique attributes of the Columbia Slough Watershed.
