Session III: Stormwater Management

SATURDAY, May 3, 2008

FREE - pre-registration recommended - space is limited
503-636-4398

Join us for an introduction to invasive species and their effects on our yards and watershed. We will begin with a general overview and then delve into specific techniques for stormwater management on your property. This is the third workshop in a 2-year series on using your yard to help promote a healthy Tryon Creek watershed. Participants from the earlier workshops are invited to join us at 10:00am for specific stormwater management skill-building.

U.S Fish & Wildlife fish surveys in Tryon Creek Park indicate that years of effort to restore the watershed to natural health are paying off.  Numerous trout and steelhead were found. Most gratifying was the identification of 3 juvenile coastal Coho, a threatened salmon species. See the full report from USFWS by visiting the Tryon Creek Restoration Monitoring Project.
