    Water Resources Education Center
    4600 SE Columbia Way Vancouver WA 98661
    Directions

    Join the City of Vancouver’s AmeriCorps members on Monday, January 20 to observe and celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Join us on a day of service by planting and learning about plant propagation at the Water Resources Education Center. Together we will work to restore the riparian area next to the Center and learn about the importance of native plants.

    Advanced registration is required. RSVP today!

    Training, gloves, tools, water and snacks will be provided. This opportunity is family-friendly and great for teens. Volunteers should dress for the weather and wear long pants and closed-toe shoes. Youth under 18 must provide a signed minor consent form.

    Accessibility is important to us and we’ve taken it into account while planning this event. This location is partially wheelchair accessible, and work is primarily done in a natural area near a highway with potential for some infrequent loud work sounds. The propagation portion of the project is wheelchair accessible. For mulching projects, volunteers may be shoveling, twisting, and turning, and pushing wheelbarrows. For invasive removal projects, volunteers may be kneeling, pulling, and twisting as well as possibly lifting plants overhead to load into a dumpster. There will be a space in the RSVP form for you to let us know if there are any accessibility needs you have so that we can do our best to find a volunteer role that will work for you.

    Contact: Water Resources Education Center at vanwrec@cityofvancouver.us or 360-487-7111

    This beautiful oak woodland habitat is home to 150-year-old white oaks and a diversity of wildlife! Invasive species, especially ivy, have taken over the forest and we need your help! We will be pulling invasive ivy and other invasive species. Pulling ivy requires volunteers to be able to bend over or kneel, but we can arrange alternate projects for those with different abilities or mobility issues. Please invite others.

    We will be working outdoors so please dress for the weather (long pants and layers are recommended). Sturdy, closed-toed shoes are required. Bring your own water bottle and gloves. Extra tools, gloves, and training will be provided. Please bring any medication you may need (Asthma Inhaler, Epi-Pen, etc.) Children are welcome if accompanied by an attentive adult. Unfortunately, there is no bathroom on site. Please stop by, learn about oak woodland ecology, and lend a hand as we enhance this unique oak woodland!
