Act natural... Animals are watching
Kids grades 4-6 come spend the summer experiencing nature at three exciting locations in the Tualatin River watershed. Six, five-day sessions all focused on fostering an appreciation and love of nature. Find out more HERE.
The Tualatin River was once a regional destination. After years of abuse it became the most polluted river in Oregon. While much has been accomplished, there remains a great deal of effort ahead to restore and protect the river and its tributaries.
Threats from activities that occur across the landscape: development, polluted runoff from farms, streets and clear cuts all continue to impact our water quality.
