Background of Firm: Tualatin Riverkeepers Mission: Tualatin Riverkeepers (TRK) protects and restores Oregon's Tualatin River system. TRK builds stewardship through recreation, education, community collaboration and advocacy. History: In 1990 a small group of area residents gathered around a kitchen table concerned about a major road project proposed for Washington County. Their response was to organize a paddle trip on the Tualatin River to raise awareness of the natural resources and rural farmlands that were threatened. From these humble beginnings an established organization has emerged and grown with an impressive record of community engagement, volunteerism, habitat restoration and a current membership of 650 families. Programs: Habitat Restoration —provides an array of voluntary stewardship activities. Semi-annual river clean up, planting, invasive plant removal and monitoring that successfully engage individuals,families, community groups and youth to take an active role in restoration. TRK has leveraged $1,000,000 for the restoration of public lands. Watershed Watch - provides a rapid pollution response HOTLINE, community forums, user- friendly guides to environmental regulatory protections and a deliberative framework that strengthens the community's involvement in policy decisions. Trips and Tours—a cornerstone of TRK community outreach and awareness. The program trains volunteers to lead guided canoe and kayak trips that provide opportunities for the public to experience the Tualatin River through recreation. 13,000 people have participated in paddle trip adventures since 1990. Nature Awareness and Service Education -volunteer naturalists lead 1,000 children on School Field Trips annually. Through hands-on experiences, children learn the habitat and clean water needs of wildlife and people and design a community service project to better meet those needs locally. 100 Nature Day Campers annually participate in week long in- depth nature exploration. 3 B.

Related Experience / Project Examples Nature Awareness and Service Education—Metro Parks and Greenspaces TRK held a Memorandum of Understanding with Metro Parks and Greenspaces (Metro)for collaboration and partnership to serve children through School Field Trip programs at Gotter Prairie, a natural area held by Metro. Metro provided TRK with program support,training and materials January 2005—December 2011. Gotter Prairie, a former farm, underwent dramatic transformation through habitat restoration to become a functional wet prairie. It now holds water through March, limiting access for School Field Trips and limiting TRK's ability to deliver programming on the site. Nature Awareness and Service Education—City of Tigard TRK was awarded a grant of$30,000 in 2011 to develop Nature Awareness programs for Summer Creek Natural Area. TRK has developed both School Field Trips and Summer Day Camp programs specific to the site, its habitat types and features. TRK has also established a Naturalist training curriculum and trained community volunteers to assist in delivering education curriculum. TRK successfully delivered Nature Awareness programming to 500 children at Summer Creek Natural Area in 2011. Fourteen volunteer Naturalists were trained to deliver curriculum. 7 5. Project Approach School Field Trip Program School Field Trips will be completed by TRK's Education and Outreach Coordinator Lori Kruse and trained volunteer naturalists. Each field trip will vary in length from 3 to 5 hours. A minimum of 17 classes, 500 students will be served annually. The Nature Awareness and Service Learning(NASE) program has three components; classroom presentation, field trip, and service learning. The program takes place in March-June and October-November. Goal Establish the site as one of the regional networks of natural areas for recreation for school groups by developing regional curriculum for the site. Objective 1: Provide programs on Summer Creek site to a regional audience, while protecting the sites sensitive habitats. Activities: 1. Provide field trip opportunities for all School Districts in the Tualatin River watershed: Tigard/Tualatin, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Portland, and Sherwood, serving 500 children annually. The protection of sensitive habitats on Summer Creek Natural Area will be of the highest priority during the field trips. 2.

Coordinate field trips and service projects with the master planning process and restoration of the site with the City of Tigard. Objective 2: Build the capacity of volunteer naturalists within the community to lead the field trips for 500 youth every fall and spring school calendar year. Each Naturalist will complete a 3- day, 18 hour training and shadow at least one field trip before becoming a leader. 8 Activities: 1.

Training sessions took place in March 2012-there were 14 participants who are actively leading school field trips, training will continue each year in the spring. 2. Train 12 new Volunteer Naturalists annually that can conduct Nature Awareness field trips at the Summer Creek Site. Volunteers will be community members of all generations, races, and cultures. Summer Day Camp Goal TRK will expand Summer Day Camp to five sessions, serving 100 youth. TRK has been hosting summer day camp sessions since the summer of 2009.
