Mid Willamette Outreach Group* is hosting a Stream Celebration at Pringle City Park on Thursday, August 22, 4-7 pm, followed by a showing of the movie Upriver starting at 7 pm in Pringle Hall Community Center. Come to one or both parts of this free community event!

The Stream Celebration is an all-ages family-friendly fair with water/watershed/aquatic ecology activity stations. The goal of the event is to actively connect residents with the Willamette River and to build pride in our shared river and community.

Attendees will visit stations to learn about water quality, aquatic macroinvertebrates, salmonids, riparian habitats, and how to take action to support healthy watersheds. This is a move-at-your-own pace, hands-on,  free-choice learning event. We hope you will join us and get to know our local waterways better!
