Restoration work at Derry Dell Creek, Tigard, Oregon, October 26th

Tualatin Valley Trout Unlimited is continuing to help out with the restoration efforts on Derry Dell Creek in Tigard. This summer the culvert at Walnut Street was replaced with a fish friendly one. On Sunday, October 26, we will be furthering the restoration effort by hanging wood duck boxes, planting native wetland vegetation, and caging trees at the culvert replacement site. 

We will be working from 9 AM til 1 PM or thereabouts. It should be a fun day and a chance to see the work that the City of Tigard has been doing. 

We can park along SW Johnson street. It starts on 99W and runs West past Woodard park and ends right at the worksite. Here is a google map:

I look forward to seeing you all there!

Thanks for volunteering.

Sunday October 27, 2013 eight hearty volunteers of the TVTU Fix-the-Creek gang met at Derry Dell creek in Tigard to continue the work of restoring a neighborhood creek that may soon support native cutthroat. On location the team replaced invasive interloping plants with new native plantings.

NEW TVTU Partner Project!!

Schedule Sunday - October 27th to be there!!!

In hopes of boosting volunteer attendance by making the travel shorter to our projects - as well as keeping projects close to our 'home' territory, the Board made an effort to locate some conservation partners right here in the Tualatin Valley.
