Third Saturday Stewardship at St. Cloud Day Use Area

Join us for stewardship at St. Cloud every third Saturday as we gear up for riparian restoration along Good Bear Creek. This salmon bearing stream has become overgrown with invasive plants and this restoration project aims to remove non-native plants along the stream course and replace native vegetation to help with salmon migration. St. Cloud also includes an historic apple orchard and Columbia River wetland and riparian habitat! Our focus will be removing small patches of Himalayan blackberry across the site and within a wildflower restoration area.

Wildflower Festival Stewardship Day at Coyote Wall

Do you enjoy hiking or biking along the trails of Coyote Wall during wildflower season? If so please consider joining Friends and the U.S. Forest Service for a morning of stewardship where you'll learn more about the incredible wildflower ecology of Coyote Wall and the east Gorge and what you can do to protect these habitats. We will hike up Little Maui Trail and as we learn about native wildflowers we will also learn to identify and spend time removing two invasive plant species that threaten wildflower diversity here, yellow star thistle and European houndstongue.
