UmaBirch Planting Party with CTUIR

  • 41563–41609 Birch Creek Road Pendleton, OR, 97801 United States (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Join the Blue Mountain Land Trust and the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) in restoring the natural beauty of Birch Creek! Decades ago, Birch Creek was rerouted to create additional farmland, which eliminated crucial spawning grounds for fish like steelhead. Now, thanks to CTUIR's efforts, the creek’s natural meandering path has been restored, and it’s ready to be lined with native cottonwood trees.
