Planting Along the Riverway Walk
We will be planting native plants from 1 gallon pots in areas beside the Riverway Walk. Species will include Nootka rose, baldhip rose and common snowberry. Invasive species removal has been done in these areas and these plants should add native vegetation as well as help keep the invasives out.
