A round of applause is in order for the great students at Clackamas Middle College! Students in Amy Bishop’s class, as well as others just interested in coming out and volunteering with us, were able to coffee bag approximately 60 native plants to protect them from invasives like reed canary grass. Students also planted native trees and shrubs to further shade the stream and halt erosion of the banks.
Though SOLV did not have hip or chest waders, students took the initiative of trudging through the stream to remove a shopping cart and a couch from the waterway. In a short period of time, students accomplished three of SOLV’s four project types: native planting, maintenance and litter removal. These students certainly go the extra mile to ensure their stream is healthy; way to go, Clackamas!
