Join us as we partner with Upper Deschutes Watershed Council to plant native species and remove non-native weeds along the Deschutes River!

Upper Deschutes Watershed Council is hosting Highland Families to help with Riparian Planting at Riverbend Park on May 10, 2023 from 2:00-3:30! The Riverbend South project is now complete, and it's ready for restoration of the native areas! 
Students and their families are invited to participate, so sign up the total number of people in your group (not just your students!). Because of space limitations, it is necessary to cap the number of participants as indicated below. 
ALL PARTICIPANTS must have a liability waiver completed. You may print and bring with you, or fill out and email to  kmiller@restorethedeschutes.org. A liability waiver will be emailed to you within 48 hours of signing up.
