PGE Palomino Park Restoration
Join the PGE team as we help restore an important natural area! Trillium Creek at Palomino Park is a 16.6 acre green space with a trail and a ravine in West Linn. Ivy has invaded 90% of ground and about 30% of trees. In some areas ivy reaches the tree crowns. The trillium the creek is named for are mostly covered, along with other native plants. The ivy has spread over the years and the goal is to eradicate then maintain with ongoing volunteer efforts to restore this green space. The area of the pull is shaded and pleasant in hot weather. There will be some opportunity for litter pick up as well during the project, although the area is fairly clean. All tools and training will be provided. Please wear sturdy, closed toed shoes and long pants. We will meet starting at 8:45am in the park located at 6400 Palomino Way in West Linn. Parking is available on neighborhood streets.
