StreamTeam Tree Potting - March 17
2018-03-17 09:00 - 13:00 (America/Vancouver)
Join the Clark Public Utilities’ StreamTeam as we pot trees in our native tree nursery. Rather than just restoring a few hundred feet of Salmon habitat, you will be contributing to the restoration of 100 acres of habitat, in just one morning!
Every year, the StreamTeam plants over 40,000 native trees and shrubs to restore salmon habitat in the Salmon Creek Watershed. This is made possible by volunteers like you, potting bareroot stock and cuttings and helping us grow the plants until they reach the right size to be planted in our restoration sites.
As with all of our activities, training, snacks, and tools are provided. We will be under tents but outdoors, so dress for the weather.

StreamTeam Garlic Mustard Pull
2017-05-13 09:00 - 13:00 | Salmon Creek, Vancouver, 98685, United States
Help StreamTeam and Eradication Nation restore our watershed by removing invasive garlic mustard! Invasive plants prevent the growth of native plants, which impacts fish and other wildlife by decreasing the diversity and abundance of the native insect populations on which they depend.
Equipment and training will be provided. You will want to bring work and weather appropriate attire, gloves, and a reusable mug. We’ll have some extra gloves and boots available.
Volunteers under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Volunteers under the age of 18 who will not be accompanied by one of their legal guardians will need a signed copy of a guardian release.
Contact StreamTeam@clarkpud.com or 360-992-8585 to register.

Stream Stewards Program
2016-09-24 - 2016-11-05
The seven-week Stream Stewards course will increase your awareness of geology, hydrology, riparian and wetland habitat, wildlife, water quality and stream restoration. Stewards also enjoy social events and continuing education workshops throughout the year.
All Stream Stewards receive hands-on experience and teaching opportunities, plus the fun of teaming up with like-minded individuals. Upon completion of the workshops, Stewards have greater understanding of the critical components of a healthy environment, including what makes a healthy habitat and how societies affect habitat. To apply or learn more, visit the Stream Stewards page on our website.
