New Riverside Sanctuary

We are thrilled to announce that late
last year, we received a remarkable
donation of 107 acres of riverside land
from long-time members, Gorham
and Robin Nicol. This new Greenway
property, known as The Nicol Sanctuary,
is located approximately 10 miles
downstream of Willamette Mission Sate
Park in Yamhill County.

Our aim is to enhance this critical

floodplain habitat to further benefit
river health, and to provide low impact
recreation for Water Trail users.
Restoration and stewardship efforts are
already underway, as we have begun to
remove invasive weeds which dominate While we are not a land trust, and do not an abundance of habitat, and also the
large portions of the property. We have plan to be, we will consider stewardship ability to enjoy wildlife, camping, and
also established a primitive campsite, of lands that fit with our desire to improve relative solitude. Look to our monthly

“187 Miles of Wonder” Art Print

We are happy to share that we have commissioned the design
of a gorgeous poster to honor and celebrate the Willamette
River. Portland based artist, Chris Marron, created this image
in the iconic style of the Works Project Administration (WPA).

Part of FDR’s New Deal, the WPA hired millions of workers,

including artists who designed thousands of posters.
Some of the best known posters of this era depicted our
National Parks, with the intention of inspiring travel to these
magnificent landscapes.

It is in this light that we felt this unique style would be fitting

for our home river and Oregon’s only National Water Trail.

We hope that this print will continue to remind people of the

“187 miles of wonder” we have flowing through the heart of
the Willamette Valley.

Visit www.willametteriverkeeper.org for information on how

to order this unique print, as well size and framing options
with our friends at Art Heads. Proceeds from this print will
help support our work on the Willamette River Greenway and
Water Trail.

As you can see, our poster was inspired from actual

Willamette River scenes!

New Faces
We are thrilled to welcome two new faces to our team:

Development Director, Heather Restoration Associate, Richard

King, has been a fundraiser
for most of her professional
career and is passionate about
fundraising for missions she
believes in- she puts the fun back
in FUNdraising! She holds a MEd
in Social Justice Education from
the University of Massachusetts
Amherst, and an MBA in Non-
Profit Management from
Brandeis University in Boston.
George, her furry friend, is often
found at her side.
Dickinson, will be guiding our
stewardship efforts through the
fall as our Restoration Manager,
Marci Krass, enjoys her maternity
leave. Richard brings thousands
of river miles and decades of
experience as an outdoor educator,
paddling guide, and conservation
crew leader. He looks forward
to facilitating opportunities for
connection and restoration.

From The Riverkeeper
Whether
one is on a
river trip,
operating a
dairy, or dealing with the waste stream
from a city - poop is a significant issue. In
reality, this has been likely “the” primary
river cleanliness issue since the rise of
human civilization. Today, thanks to the
Clean Water Act, there are rules that
are applied to the larger generators of
such waste in our midst, from municipal
treatment plants dealing with human
waste and grey water, to permits that
regulate how manure from cows and
other livestock is dealt with. That being
said, the picture is far from perfect.
A River Discovery participant gets up close to one
of Portland’s infamous CSO pipes.
Recently the City of Monmouth, just
a few miles from Salem, released a
million gallons of “partially treated”
sewage to the Willamette River. On top
of that, they waited 5 days to notify
the public. The Oregon DEQ indicated
to us that they told the City to notify
the public, but Monmouth claims that
DEQ told them to test the water, then
notify the public. Clearly one of these
responses makes little sense. It is a very
basic responsibility to notify the public
immediately when such spills occur. The
irony is that Monmouth’s permit under
the Clean Water Act does not specifically
require them to notify the public when a
spill occurs.

On a related note, over the years there

Mussel Mania 2018—Volunteer
As you may recall, last summer we
conducted a major study and survey of
Western Pearlshell freshwater mussels
in the upper Willamette. In addition to
our staff and volunteers, an intrepid
crew from Oregon Public Broadcasting’s
popular Oregon Field Guide program
braved the summer’s hottest
temperatures to document our project.
The episode was broadcast earlier this
year (https://bit.ly/2HsN9oH).

This July through September, we will
be conducting another study of an
assemblage of mussel beds we located
in Eugene. Similar to our work last
summer at Norwood Island, we will
try to determine whether the beds are
reproducing, and to gain a population
estimate. We also have plans for
additional survey work to determine if
mussels are present on a few remaining
stretches of the mainstem Willamette
River, as well as a couple of key
tributaries.
You can participate in the mania! We
are actively seeking volunteers who
are interested in helping out for a day
or more. The work involves some or
all of the following: standing and/or
immersion in the water, snorkeling,
paddling, excavating the river bottom by
hand, and documenting findings. There
are a variety of roles that can be played,

so if you are interested we can likely find
a way to utilize your talent.
Our Eugene study is scheduled for July
31-Aug 3rd, while other surveys will
occur multiple days from July through
September based on staff and volunteer
availability.
This is sure to be another great field
season where we can generate useful
data to help protect mussels in the
Willamette River system, inform the
public about this amazing animal,
and work toward greater river health
overall. Contact Travis at travis@
willametteriverkeeper.org if you want to
join the team.
If you can’t volunteer, don’t worry,
you can still help support our ongoing
research by purchasing your own limited

River Guardians:
Strengthening Whole Communities Through Clean Water
Looking back from its beginnings in 2015 as a simple monthly
river clean up in the Eugene-Springfield and Portland
metro areas, River Guardians (RG) has evolved from “Trashy
Tuesdays,” to include regular monitoring and community
engagement programs touching on complex issues in social
and environmental justice.

In Eugene, RG has added focused river clean up and education

programs specifically tailored for student groups, employee
outings and organizations involved with homeless advocacy
and life transitions programs, such as Eugene Mission’s Life
Changes Program.

Kelsey Irvine, Eugene Outdoors Waterway Volunteers

A monumental effort: volunteers collected nearly 200 trash bags in
one outing this spring.
In an effort to provide safe and meaningful exchanges
between volunteers and campers, RG are invited to attend an
annual trauma-informed communications and sharps safety
training provided by Whitebird Medical Clinic in Eugene. This
information has served to inform and inspire RG to cast a
wider net in the community, often volunteering for other
social services programs in the area.
Coordinator, works tirelessly to clean up the river, and
has been a strong partner with River Guardians. Kelsey
believes the program is integral to the Parks and Open
Space operations, creating a significant impact on the public
riverfront. The City of Eugene River House Center provides
River Guardians with rafts, safety gear, and sometimes
transportation and trained raft guides, to help ensure a safe
on-water experience for volunteers unfamiliar with river
recreation. Program Supervisor, Zane Wheeler, agrees with
Kelsey. He believes River Guardians efforts have provided
benefits on many levels. “We are able to remove large
amounts of garbage from the river corridor and include
volunteers in the effort, and we are able to open the eyes
of participants to a need for homeless solutions by seeing
firsthand the amount of people using the corridor as a home,”
say Zane. “This event is more than just trash removal.”
GET DIRTY FOR GOOD!

Floodplain Restoration on a Landscape-scale

Our restoration program is continuing to
thrive and grow. Since 2014 we’ve been
working at Willamette Mission State
Park, located 20 minutes north of Salem

to restore the health of the floodplain
forest and side channels. We are excited
to share that this spring, we began to
expand the scope of our landscape-
scale restoration project to include an
additional 234 acres, bringing the total
acres under active restoration up to 666!
