Dear Creek Stewards,

The First Saturday Cleanup on Prince Memorial Greenway is CANCELLED for this Saturday, November 2nd.

What a crazy week! It's going to take some time for life to feel "normal" again. We hate missing First Saturday on the Prince Memorial Greenway but like many of you, we need to return home and continue picking up the pieces.

A friend reminded me that keeping busy during a crisis is a good coping mechanism. I found cleaning very therapeutic. I will continue with my therapy today, making sure to pick up a little trash wherever I go. I encourage you to day the same!

Please check out all the cool stuff coming up and join our beautiful creek community as often as you can.

Nature quiz: How big is the Santa Rosa Creek watershed?

See the answer below and enjoy a photo from late September taken at the headwaters of Santa Rosa Creek in Mount Hood Regional Park.

Hoping you and yours are home safe and recovering,

The Santa Rosa Creek watershed- a land surface that covers 78 square miles and contains Santa Rosa Creek and tributaries such as Brush, Matanzas and Piner Creeks. For comparison, the Kincade Fire has burned approximately 120 square miles
