Join the Tualatin Riverkeepers & Tualatin Soil & Water Conservation District for:
- Weed Watchers online webinar class on the Thursday prior, July 28th, 6 pm-8 pm
- Guided paddle trip on the Tualatin River on Saturday, July 30th, 9 am-1 pm
Increase your awareness of the invasive weeds considered to be of greatest concern and train to be a floating botanist, able to identify these invaders in local natural areas and along streams and rivers as you drive, hike, bike, and paddle. Add valuable knowledge to your repertoire of facts, natural history, river lore, and conservation information that you can share.
The online webinar class will introduce us to invasive species control, the weeds of greatest concern, and how to identify these plants from live samples. You'll receive a handy weed ID guide, which includes information on how and where to report infestations.
The paddle trip will provide us an opportunity to identify these problem species in the field, discuss control strategies, and paddle with friends!
The online workshop will take place the Thursday before the paddle from 6 pm-8 pm. When you sign up, a link will be emailed to you for that class. The river paddle will be from 9:00 am-1:00 pm. Please arrive by 8:30 am for a 9:00 am launch.
