Water Resources Education Center

Join the Vancouver Bee Project and Water Center staff in nurturing our newly planted pollinator meadows! This hands-on workshop will introduce participants to the fundamentals of meadowscaping and explore how these spaces support pollinators. Together, we’ll identify common weedy species in newly planted meadows and work to remove them. Afterward, we’ll take a guided tour of the Center’s backyard habitat-certified gardens and riparian zone, where you’ll learn to recognize native plant species common to our region.
Registration required. Sign up today!
Expect to be mostly stationary in the garden for the first half of the program. Garden gloves will be provided for any weed pulling that is necessary. Expect to walk 0.5 miles on paved and gravel surfaces for the plant identification walk.
