Do you like live music? Bring the entire family and join us for Milwaukie Porchfest on Friday, July 18 at the Kellogg Creek Water Resource Recovery Facility from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. African marimba band, Danda, will perform in Milwaukie Bay Park just below the Kellogg Creek facility. Enjoy refreshments alongside Milwaukie community members; you won’t want to miss this 9-member band playing uplifting dance music with their own acoustic handmade instruments!

About Danda:

Learn how to maintain your riparian buffer after North Clackamas Watersheds Council completes restoration. Watershed Restoration Manager, Amy Van Riessen, will discuss the unique ecology of Parmenter Ponds and her research monitoring stream temperature for native fish.

David Powell from Mosaic Ecology will also share insight on promoting healthy streams through restoration, removing invasives and encouraging native plant growth.

Attendees are encouraged to bring their watershed questions and to get their hands dirty practicing restoration techniques!
