The Council meets the last Monday of each month at 5pm at 100 NE Columbia Blvd. at the Nabisco Bakery in the Kraft Foods Conference Room.

The Columbia Children’s Arboretum Park in Northeast Portland includes 25 acres in a residential and business neighborhood.  The Columbia Slough Watershed Council’s Action Plan supported replacement of culverts, revegetation, and a walking trail.   Old culverts were deteriorating and at the wrong elevations for good drainage.  Thirty-one hundred feet of wetland benches planted with native plants and shrubs now provide wildlife habitat, increased water storage, and better flows.  The trail improves public and maintenance access.  The Multnomah County Drainage District coordinated the project with funding from the District, Metro, Watershed Council, City of Portland: Parks and Recreation and Bureau of Environmental Services, East Multnomah SWCD, Port of Portland, NRCS, and business donors.  The project provides a wide range of benefits to the natural environment and park visitors.
