Plant Trees and help restore the McKay Creek watershed in North Plains at SOLV’s Team Up For Watershed Health site on Saturday, March 20th. Plantings start at 9 am, end by 12 pm and SOLV provides tools and gloves. By planting native trees and shrubs, volunteers will be lowering stream temperatures and creating an ecosystem that will filter polluted stormwater runoff, improve water quality, provide better habitat for wildlife, and be more resilient to climate change. This is SOLV’s last tree planting until October!   Over the years, MacKay Creek has been overrun with blackberry and reed canary grass degrading the overall health of the watershed. As part of this opportunity, volunteers will work to restore a functioning ash wetland on site by planting natives and wetland vegetation, which will improve water quality and decrease erosion. Project partners include the City of North Plains 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_health.asp. Event information is found at the very bottom of the page.  You can also contact Brett Lyon at brett@solv.org or 503-844-9571 x 332. Put on your boots, grab a shovel, and come dig in! We hope to see you out in your watershed!
