Opportunity to Give Back

We have an opportunity to "give back" as a Club or individuals.
Rob Laranaga, the Director of the Camas Wildlife Refuge contacted me as a result of Chris Balmer and Myself volunteering to help when possible at the Refuge.

They will be doing a Riparian weeding on May 10th at the Refuge.
Start time will be 9:30 a.m.

A riparian zone is the interface between land and a flowing surface water body. Plant communities along the river margins are called riparian vegetation, characterized by hydrophilic plants. Riparian zones are significant in ecology, environmental management, and civil engineering due to their role in soil conservation, their biodiversity, and the influence they have on aquatic ecosystems. Riparian zones occur in many forms including grassland, woodland, wetland or even non-vegetative. In some regions the terms riparian woodland, riparian forest, riparian buffer zone or riparian strip are used to characterize a riparian zone. The word "riparian" is derived from Latin ripa, meaning river bank.

I think this would be a excellent opportunity to give back as an expression of thanks for the opportunities Camas gives to us as Photographers and Residents.
