VANCOUVER – Clark County Public Works invites residents to an open house to learn more about the wetland restoration project planned for the 78th Street Heritage Farm. The open house, 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday, April 22, will allow residents and farm partners to learn more about the project and provide feedback.
The project will restore approximately two acres of wetlands and establish approximately three acres of vegetated buffer along Cougar Creek’s headwaters. The farm is used for various activities including agricultural research, community gardens, WSU Clark County Extension programs, plant sales, education and more.
At the open house, staff will share a presentation about the project from 6:30 to 7 p.m., with a question-and-answer session to follow. The presentation and question-and-answer session will also be streamed online via WebEx. Before and after the presentation, attendees will be able to view informational displays and discuss the project with staff. Light refreshments will be provided.
The in-person open house will be held in the commons of Minnehaha Elementary School, located at 2800 NE 54th St. Signage will direct attendees to enter through the school’s north entrance. In addition to the school’s ADA parking spaces, additional spaces will be reserved for attendees with limited mobility. Meeting interpretation, additional translated materials and other accommodations can be requested by contacting the project manager, Scott Fakler, at scott.fakler@clark.wa.gov or 564.397.4648.
To participate online via WebEx, residents can register on the project webpage. An email reminder with a one-click link to join the meeting will be sent to those who register. Registration is not required, and a link to join the meeting will be posted on the project webpage and available to join ten minutes before the presentation begins. Presentation slides and handouts, and a recording of the presentation, will be posted to the project webpage within five business days after the open house.
