Event: Filtering Wetland Restoration Planting Party
When:
Location: Starker Arts Park, 4485 SW Country Club Drive, Corvallis
Adjacent to the Starker Arts Duck Pond
What: The Corvallis Sustainability Coalition Water Action Team is collaborating with the City of Corvallis and the Marys River Watershed Council to plant over 1,000 native grasses, perennials and shrubs to restore a wetland that has been designed to filter and infiltrate into the ground the runoff from the Starker Arts Duck Pond that is filled with fecal coliform from the ducks. Previous to the construction of this filtering wetland, the water flowed untreated directly into Dunawi Creek, causing the creek to be a poor habitat for fish. The species planted on this day will provide the filtering functions to the wetland. Participants will learn about this process and the species of plants they will be installing prior to completing their work. Dress to get dirty. Work gloves will be provided.
