Do you and your family love to see the trillium blooming in the spring in our Bridlemile neighborhood parks? To see a family of red-tail hawks soar above the towering firs and hemlocks in our hills? To hear a nighttime chorus of frogs? To know that there are cutthroat trout and clean water in Fanno Creek?
Be part of a continuing tradition of keeping our neighborhood forest and stream habitat healthy! Since 1998, Bridlemile neighbors, led by the Bridlemile Creek Stewards, have removed acres of invasive plants like Himalayan blackberry and English ivy that were destroying our habitat. We planted thousands of native plants, providing shade, food and shelter for birds, mammals and fish. You can see the results in the restoration projects in the wooded areas of Hamilton and Albert Kelly Parks.
Your family, as neighborhood volunteers, can help keep these natural areas healthy. Keep an eye out for invasive plants, and spend a little time to stop them from coming back. Get to know your neighbors! Your kids will earn community service hours and learn from well-qualified watershed scientists and naturalists.
Come learn how you can help continue Bridlemile’s tradition of healthy streams and habitat, at one of two tutorials presented by the Bridlemile Creek Stewards.
