Several tributaries A river or stream flowing into a larger river or lake. join Butternut Creek on its journey toward the Tualatin River. These important streams help provide habitat for wildlife and help clean water as it moves across the land. View the Map
We are working closely with the Cross Creek Homeowner’s Association (HOA) and the Deline HOA in Beaverton to enhance the greenspaces surrounding the tributary that flows through their neighborhood. We’ve removed invasive species clogging the waterway, helped the community draft a landscape design, and planted native trees and shrubs to create wildlife habitat. This work is part of a larger restoration effort that includes the natural spaces along Butternut Creek.
The effort is a partnership between the Backyard Habitat Certification Program, Clean Water Services, and Native Plantscapes NW.
