Whychus Creek Restoration Adventure (Elders in the Play)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have an exciting opportunity for all students to do some river restoration! We are so grateful for our partnership with the Upper Deschutes Watershed Council to organize a few projects on various water sources in our area. We will be taking a total of 3 trips over the next month. Our next trip is Friday, May 10th. We will be taking the Elders that are involved in the Play to Creekside Park in Sisters to help with riparian planting, pulling invasive weeds, and cleaning up trash near Whychus Creek. We will continue to learn about healthy watersheds and what it means to be a steward of the river. Permission slip coming home tomorrow and is attached here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
