Washougal has an Ivy League!

Make history as you help remove English Ivy and other invasive plants at Hathaway Park at the very first official Washougal Ivy League event.

We’ll meet on the north side of Lacamas Lake. There is a trail that starts at the 3-Lakes area, just below the former Acorn & the Oak (before that Lakeside Chalet) restaurant. Park at the Round Lake Overflow Lot on NE 35th Avenue, and look for our green canopy and sandwich board sign. Bring gloves, tools, and/or your water bottle if you have them, but we will provide if not. And definitely dress for the weather and for woodsy conditions — long pants, sturdy shoes or boots, rain gear if the weather says so. This is a BEAUTIFUL little-known trail, so come explore the area while you also work to protect it!

There’s much more invasive English ivy to remove along the Mill Ditch Trail!

We’ll meet at the top of the City Steps, at the intersection of NE 12th Avenue & NE Birch Street. https://maps.app.goo.gl/bAojtNatj2rmfi196

Look for our green canopy and the Ivy League sandwich board sign. This site is a combination of gentle slopes and steeper ones, so we should be able to accommodate most volunteers.

We'll be working in the treed green space just below Mill Ditch, but entering from the less-steep south side. We had a very successful ivy cutting party at this spot in June (a few photos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/HRnR2mGRSpBrMu1R8) and would love to see what we can finish up!

Plenty of ivy (and possibly some garbage) to clean up in here. Beautiful section of City green space, just steps away from downtown Camas. If anyone is not up to pulling invasives, but would like to help at the sign-in table, let us know -- we can always use extra hands.

Look for our tent and sign on NE 7th Avenue, between Birch and Dallas streets (where Cedar would intersect if it was a through street). Park along the street or in the "Free Parking" lot at NE 7th & Adams.
