Volunteer Event at the Multnomah Channel Marsh Natural Area

10/04/2024 10:00 AM - 01:00 PM PT
Multnomah Channel Marsh Natural Area
21881 NW St Helens Rd
Portland, OR 97231
EVENT: Harvesting Willow Branches
This project is helping to restore natural hydrology by encouraging beavers to do what they do best...build dams! Multnomah Channel Marsh, a Metro property, lacks the seasonal flooding necessary to filter water and support habitat for fish & wildlife.

Volunteers will cut and bundle willow branches for future use as Beaver Dam Analogs (BDAs)-the scaffolding for beaver dams.
Volunteers will have the opportunity to explore this beautiful property along the Multnomah Channel and learn about how beavers help water quality.
