Ivy and Holly Removal at Dirksen Nature Park (age 6+) Referral

Join Tualatin River keepers to connect with nature and learn more about the importance of native plants!

Tualatin River keepers is a community-based organization that protects and restores the Tualatin River watershed. We build watershed stewardship through advocacy, restoration work, river access, and education.
Our three key areas of focus – advocacy, stewardship, and river experiences – engage hundreds of volunteers and thousands of participants each year, who gain an appreciation of the watershed and its protection by experiencing it first‑hand.
