Join the Tualatin Riverkeepers & Tualatin Soil & Water Conservation District for:

• Guided paddle trip on the Tualatin River
• Weed Watchers online webinar class on the Thursday prior (July 16) from 6-8pm

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 introduces 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. Interested in the onine workshop, but can’t make the paddle? Email carly@tualatinriverkeepers.org and we’ll send you the link for the workshop!

The paddle trip will provide an opportunity to identify these problem species in the field, discuss control strategies, and paddle with friends!
