Southwest Watershed Resource Center
The Southwest Watershed Resource Center (WRC) is a partnership between SW Neighborhoods, Inc. and the City of Portland Bureau of Environmental Services. The mission of the WRC is to inspire and support watershed stewardship at the neighborhood level in SW Portland.
The Watershed Resource Center:
- supports volunteer stewardship groups in Fanno Creek, Tryon Creek, Stephens Creek, and other Willamette subwatersheds within SW Portland.
- offers free education programs and community presentations for youth and adult audiences
- provides residents with technical information and referrals for invasive plant removal and native plant landscaping, stormwater management, natural gardening and other practices that enhance the health of local watersheds.
