After two years of being virtual, we were back to an in-person celebration of our Council and watershed restoration community, with a virtual component.
On Thursday, May 26, our partners, volunteers, sponsors, Board and Staff all gathered at the Milwaukie Masonic Lodge for two hours of socializing, Riffle awards, and a presentation of our work.
