Westside Watershed Resource Center

The Westside Watershed Resource Center inspires awareness and action on behalf of watershed health in Southwest and Northwest Portland neighborhoods, through a partnership between Neighbors West Northwest and the City of Portland Bureau of Environmental Services.

We accomplish this by:

• Providing residents with technical information and referrals for invasive plant removal, native plant landscaping, stormwater management, natural gardening and other practices that enhance the health of local watersheds.
• Providing educational opportunities for youth and adults, such as field trips, in-class activities, and community presentations.
• Supporting volunteer stewardship groups in Fanno Creek, Tryon Creek, Stephens Creek, and other Willamette subwatersheds within Portland. Check out a map of Portland watersheds to see which watershed you live in.
• Leveraging neighborhood partnerships in watershed health to seek grant funding and develop cost-effective watershed restoration projects.

Stormwater Stars

Stormwater Stars is a program delivered by D4C and the Westside Watershed Resource Center, in partnership with and funded by generous contributions from West Multnomah Soil & Water Conservation District and City of Portland Bureau of Environmental Services.

Stormwater Stars workshops provide ideas on how to manage rain that falls around your home, school, workplace, or place of worship. You’ll receive an overview of the best ways to handle stormwater issues, and get plenty of hands-on practice in restoring soils, naturescaping with native plants, creating pervious pathways, and more. If you live, work, or play on a site that has excessive mud, pooling water, or compacted soil, then these workshops are for you!
