St. Paul, OR— SOLVE and Champoeg State Heritage Area are partnering for the Willamette Riverside Cleanup April 23, 2022, from 9 a.m.-noon. Join us at Champoeg to remove invasive blackberry, ivy and black locust between the restored native prairie and the Willamette River. Champoeg was once a thriving town along the river in the 1850s and this cleanup will help reclaim the historic open landscape.
