Volunteer Planting at Beebe Island on the Clackamas River - Feb. 21

Plant native trees and shrubs as a part of a significant fish and wildlife enhancement project along a side channel of the Clackamas River.  These plants will provide much-needed habitat and will improve the water quality of the Clackamas River. The event is co-hosted by the Clackamas River Basin Council and the Estuary Partnership.
