Parrot Creek Restoration day with Bark
Defending and Restoring Mt. Hood
Bark is partnering with the Cultural Ecology Program at Parrott Creek to restore an 80-acre site in Clackamas County. The Parrott Creek project site is under the leadership of Ameyalli Mañon-Ferguson who is the Cultural Ecology Program Manager for Parrott Creek Child and Family Services in Oregon City, OR. Here, she leads the stewardship of the 80 acres of mixed coniferous forest, creeks, wetlands, and grassland prairie at their youth residential treatment program site. This program serves highly traumatized adjudicated male youth as an alternative to incarceration, providing one-on-one and group therapy, drug and alcohol counseling, an on-site school and personalized treatment plans to build the skills they will need to go back into the community. The combined effort and community engagement in this program work towards the ultimate goal to restore the land to be a culturally and ecologically functioning site by centering traditional ecological and cultural knowledge.
Join us to help restore this incredible space! We will be planting native plants, protecting young plants, removing invasives and doing trail maintenance.
