Join the Wetlands Conservancy and spend your Saturday morning learning about slimy swamp critters! You'll join a team of scientists to gather data on amphibian populations throughout Washington and Clackamas Counties. This is your opportunity to spend time in nature and observe the fascinating life cycles of our native frogs and salamanders!
After the new year, participate in the Christmas Bird Count on January 4 at the 3-Creeks Natural Area. Spend the day identifying and counting birds seen in designated 15-mile diameter circles.
Join The Wetland Conservancy volunteers for a day of cleanup, invasive species removal, and stake harvesting at Hearthwood Wetland in Clackamas County. This dense hardwood wetland is at the headwaters of Kellogg Creek and provides crucial buffering between I-205 and the communities of Johnson Lake. Help bolster the soil and promote water filtration by opening up small areas of crowded canopy, removing nonnative species and trash from the edge space. Hearthwood is home to small woodland mammals, songbirds and raptor birds, amphibians, fish and more. This event is free and family friendly.
Join this online community discussion to share your perspectives on the current conditions and future uses of 3 Creeks Natural Area. There will be a brief presentation on the Clackamas Water Environment Services floodplain restoration efforts, current recreation and nature education uses of 3 Creeks. The presentation will be followed by an informal conversation facilitated by North Clackamas Watershed Council staff.

Amphibians need clean water and upland habitat to breed and thrive. Join Katie Holzer to learn how local frogs and salamanders can benefit from leaves, logs, and water features and in return, keep down insect populations in your yard.
There will be time for discussion, so come prepared with your garden questions!
