Many partners contribute to restoring and protecting Tryon Creek Watershed. Among them is the City of Portland , Bureau of Environmental Services. Among their many contributions are two reports that address watershed issues and present plans to address them. Follow these links to see:

Most gratifying was the identification of 3 juvenile coastal Coho, a threatened salmon species. Click here for the full report (PDF)
