The CSP hosted one of the ten restoration locations during the Johnson Creek Watershed's 20th Anniversary Watershed-Wide Event. Our location was at Westmoreland's Union Manor, where the creek emerges from the new (2017) culvert at McLaughlin Blvd. and flows down through the property to the new (2016) culvert at SE Glenwood St.
Volunteer planting Pacific ninebark and black twinberry by the new culvet at Union Manor. This lovation used to have a very large and robust twinberry that unfortunately had to be removed during the construction of the new culvert in 2017.
We had about 45 volunteers including a Girl Scout troop and a team from Bullseye Glass. Much reed canary grass and other invasive species was removed from the banks and the stream channel and hundreds of live stakes of Pacific ninebark, black twinberry, and snowberry were placed along the banks to control erosion, and provide food and habitat for wildlife, and to shade the creek.

The event went quite well, thanks to all the volunteers who came out, but since we were all busy we didn't get photos of the rest of the volunteers at work. Better luck (or planning) next time!
Thanks so much to our volunteers and to the Johnson Creek Watershed Council for making this happen!
