Information about land conservation in Upper Rock Creek

Where is Upper Rock Creek?

The headwaters of Rock Creek flow from the Skyline Ridge area through unincorporated Multnomah and Washington Counties.  The creek contains fish and some intact riparian areas.  It is also home to elk herds that travel into the north end of Forest Park.  This area is a mix of forest lands, small farms, and large lot homes.

Why conserve this land?

This land is important to preserve for water quality in the Tualatin River, as well as elk habitat in Forest Park.  Forest Park is long and narrow and in order to sustain the health of the park, it must remain connected to larger habitat areas adjacent to it and continue these connections all the way to the Coast Range.

Our Accomplishments

Three Rivers held several workshops to help landowners understand their conservation options.

Next Steps

Three Rivers is now working with several landowners in the Rock/Abbey Creek area to conserve their land using conservation agreements.
