Hey citizens of Central Point, Oregon! The Bear Creek Stewards are seeking volunteers to assist at two locations in the Central Point area for Bear Creek Stewardship Day on Saturday, September 19th from 9am to 12pm:
1️⃣ Pine Street, Central Point. Sponsored by Stream Smart - a clean water project and the City of Central Point Government - City Hall. Parking is available at the gravel parking area north of Pine Street and east of Peninger Road (across from the Pilot Travel Center). There will be trash pick-up, plant watering, and nesting box and interpretive signage cleaning at this location.
2️⃣ Bear Creek/Rogue River Confluence – Meet at Pine Street, Central Point. Sponsored by Rogue Riverkeeper and Nate's Rogue Adventures. Parking is available at the gravel parking area north of Pine Street and east of Peninger Road (across from the Pilot Gas station). Participants will carpool to the site to reduce the number of vehicles. Participants will collect trash from the banks of Bear Creek, around the confluence with the Rogue, and along the Rogue below Bear Creek. A raft will be available to shuttle across the river. Sturdy footwear and ability to walk up and down slopes and rough surfaces is required. If you have them, please wear waders, high-rise rubber boots, and bring a small fishing net to help scoop up trash. Participants may also be on the lookout for invasive aquatic plants (water primrose and parrotfeather).
