Join us, the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) for a presentation about cleanup efforts on the Columbia Slough! We will hear from Sarah Miller and Heidi Nelson from DEQ, to discuss the Moore & Wright Island cleanup project. Together we’ll discuss project updates, get eyes on the work site, and have an opportunity to discuss question. This free event is open to all ages, advance registration is preferred.

Getting there: We will be meeting at the NE corner of N Columbia Blvd & N Fiske Ave (this is right next to the Columbia Wastewater Treatment Plant). There is a free gravel lot available for parking located to the right once you cross the train tracks. Biking? There are multiple access points to travel via the Columbia Slough Trail, the 40 Mile Loop, etc. Public Transportation? Bus 4, 11, & 35 all make stops nearby.

What to bring: Pack along water and come prepared for the weather. We will have light snacks and drinks to share!

Accessibility: There is no public restroom available during this event. Aside from the gravel parking lot, the group will be navigating a flat paved trail with no incline for an approximate total of 0.6 miles (0.3 out and back).
