Beaver Pond Planting Day in Tigard (age 8+) Referral

Volunteer Opportunity Join Tualatin Riverkeepers in Tigard to support our restoration efforts at a beautiful beaver pond just across from the Tigard Public Library. About the Program Tualatin Riverkeepers protects, restores and expands access to the Tualatin River Watershed through advocacy and fostering broad community engagement. Our three key areas of focus – advocacy, restoration, and river experiences – engage hundreds of volunteers and thousands of participants each year, who gain an appreciation of the watershed and its protection by experiencing it first-hand. About the Project It’s finally time to plant at the beaver pond! Join Tualatin Riverkeepers in Tigard to support our restoration efforts at a beautiful beaver pond just across from the Tigard Public Library. We’ll plant native species along the pond and stream banks beneath a canopy of Pacific willow. This work supports wildlife habitat, water quality, and soil health while promoting biodiversity. In the process, you will learn about urban wildlife habitat and native plants that support biodiversity. Snacks, coffee, tools, safety gear, and instruction will be provided. Please expect to walk and work on uneven surfaces along a pond bank. The site is accessible via TriMet bus line 76.
