WHAT: Join Willamette Riverkeeper, Oregon Parks & Recreation Department and friends to help plant newly harvested aquatic native plants, Wapato (Sagittaria latifolia), on Mission Lake at Willamette Mission State Park. We will come together to plant this important native species in designated areas around the site to improve habitat, water quality, overall watershed health, and restore this culturally significant plant to the river. If you love the river, plants and getting your hands dirty this is the perfect event for you!
We need your help to save the Willamette's aquatic habitat!
WHEN: Friday, November 8, 2024 from 9:30am - 2:30pm
WHERE: We will meet at the parking lot next to Mission Lake and get folks checked in. From there we will do introductions, explain the flow of the day and our project goals. This event is all about community building, education, restoring our aquatic habitats and enjoying a beautiful day in the park. We will probably be getting muddy and wet so be prepared!
Reserve a spot, and make a new friend!
See map below for specific location in park.
DETAILS: Dress for the weather and a day by the water, where you probably will get muddy. Waterproof shoes (that stay on your feet) preferable. Higher muck boots would be ideal or waders. Please bring plenty of water, lunch and snacks, and sunscreen. Willamette Riverkeeper will have tools, gloves, and all the instruction needed. If you do have your favorite hand trowel, then feel free to bring it along.
Minors are also welcome to join this event if they will be accompanied by an adult who is responsible for the minor and is authorized to sign their participation waiver.
