The Xerces Society and Crystal Springs Partnership are hosting an upcoming volunteer event in Portland. We are looking for volunteers to help survey Crystal Springs Creek at Westmoreland Park. Surveys this year will be part of long-term monitoring to determine the effectiveness of stream restoration activities.
Volunteers will help survey Crystal Springs Creek for native freshwater mussels and non-native Asian clams, and collect data. Volunteers will survey for survivorship and movement by locating mussels tagged during last years’ relocation work and record data.
No prior experience is required. Register for 1 or both survey days.
Cost: Free
When: Sunday Sept. 14th & Monday Sept. 15th, 2014 – 9 AM to 3 PM each day
Where:
Sept. 14th: Meet at Westmoreland Park near SE Rex. St. & SE 22nd Ave.
Sept. 15th: Meet at Union Manor near SE 23rd Ave. north of SE Bybee Blvd.
