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.

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
