Help plant native species at Willamette Mission Volunteers are invited to help plant trees and shrubs along a new fl oodplain forest in Willamette Mission State Park on Feb. 10. The event is a part of a larger habitat restora- tion project led by Willamette Riverkeeper, in partnership with Oregon Parks and Rec- reation Department (OPRD). The restoration “work par- ty,” now in its second year, is part of the Willamette Mission Floodplain Reforestation Proj- ect. Its goal is to restore vital fi sh and wildlife habitat on 600 acres across the state park. The project broke ground in 2014 and has continued under the guidance of Willamette River- keeper, a nonprofi t organiza- tion that works to protect and restore the Willamette River. This winter, Willamette Riverkeeper members and volunteers intend to plant more than 107,000 native plants in Willamette Mission State Park. “One of our project goals is to teach local community members, park user groups and youth about environmental stewardship,” said Marci Krass, Restoration Manager for Wil- lamette Riverkeeper. “We hope that by offering these service opportunities, people will invest in Willamette Mis- sion State Park’s transforma- tion and feel a connection to the forest they are helping to restore.” The restoration work party will be held 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Feb. 10. Volunteers will meet in the gravel lot for the Wheatland ferry, at the north entrance to Willamette Mis- sion State Park. Parking is free. Registration and more info is online: https://goo. gl/8HsRcw. Restoration work in Wil- lamette Mission State Park is the result of a partnership be- tween OPRD and Willamette Riverkeeper, with additional funding assistance from Or- egon Watershed Enhancement Board, Meyer Memorial Trust, Bonneville Power Administra- tion and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Willamette Riverkeeper is a nonprofi t organization that works to protect and restore the Willamette River. For more information, visit www. willametteriverkeeper.org.
