Tree Planting & Restoration Party in Vancouver (age 0+) *Hands On*
Winter is the time for planting! So, bring your work gloves and dress warmly as we prepare the Earth for new plantings and springtime growth. We will be planting native trees and shrubs along the riparian corridor of Burnt Bridge Creek.
We all live in a watershed! Watersheds are regions or areas defined by ridges where the water drains into a particular stream, lake or river. In Vancouver, Washington, our community has bountiful water bodies, including Burnt Bridge Creek and the Columbia River.
Burnt Bridge Creek is a highly modified urban stream that flows some 12.6 miles from its agricultural origins near Northeast 162nd Avenue on the east, through the heart of Vancouver and the Greenway Project at its center, to its terminus at Vancouver Lake.
The Vancouver Watersheds Alliance is a small, community-focused, non-regulatory, non-profit organization established to educate and engage the community in order to improve the health of Vancouver's watersheds. Together we work to identify issues, promote cooperative solutions, focus resources, agree on goals for watershed protection and foster communication among our diverse stakeholders.
Community partners that make this project possible: United Way/Hands On Greater Portland, Fort Vancouver High School and the City of Vancouver.
