Give thanks to native plants and save trees from invasive English ivy! Join the Clackamas River Basin Council and help control these weedy vines that threaten the health of our trees. When left unchecked, the invasive English ivy climbs tree trunks and can lead to tree mortality. Ivy weighs down trees, shades out sunlight, and can create a sail effect during windstorms causing trees to fall.

This work party will work to save large trees along the Clackamas River near the Water Environment Services Tri-City Water Resource Recovery Facility.
