Webinar: Wildlife and Water Friendly Garden Series - Companion Planting for Clean Water
The Environmental Learning Center presents a free Workshop Series for anyone interested in home gardening for wildlife and water quality.
Companion Planting for Clean Water
Presented by - Lydia Cox, Landscape Designer and Garden Coach
Companion planting can work by protecting and shielding crops, improving pollination, trapping and luring pests, repelling pests, and enriching the soil, a win-win for crop yield and native species.
Wastewater overflow into the Willamette River
Clackamas Water Environment Services (WES) personnel responded to an overflow of wastewater into the Willamette River early Thursday morning.
The overflow occurred at 7:37 a.m. at the Bolton Pump Station in West Linn, and lasted 13 minutes. Officials said there was a pumping failure, which was quickly resolved.
WES personnel placed signs informing area residents about the spill in the vicinity of the incident. The Oregon Emergency Response System has been notified.
Lunch & Learn Series
The goal of the Lunch & Learn informational forums are to educate stakeholders about what WES is doing to build a resilient, clean water future where people and businesses benefit, and our rivers thrive. These semi-annual meetings with experts help inform the WES Advisory Committee.
