Clear Creek Canyon Natural Area Upper Bench Restoration Plan

This restoration plan outlines restoration activities to occur at Metro’s Clear Creek Canyon Natural Area. The plan develops the next stage of planning for restoration of the 133 acre Upper Bench Savanna area, which  will be comprised of a mosaic of habitat types, including savanna, Oregon white oak (Quercus garryana) woodland, wet prairie, shrub, and conifer forest.  The plan is intended to guide the expansion and enhancement of savanna habitat with the goal of increasing the diversity and abundance of native grass and forb species and decreasing the cover of nonnative and invasive species.
