Southwest Watershed Resource Center
The Southwest Watershed Resource Center (WRC) inspires awareness and action on behalf of watershed health in SW Portland neighborhoods, through a partnership between Southwest Neighborhoods, Inc. and the City of Portland Bureau of Environmental Services.
We accomplish this by:
- providing residents with technical information and referrals for invasive plant removal and native plant landscaping, stormwater management, natural gardening and other practices that enhance the health of local watersheds.
- offering free education programs and community presentations for youth and adult audiences
- supporting volunteer stewardship groups in Fanno Creek, Tryon Creek, Stephens Creek, and other Willamette subwatersheds within SW Portland.
