Students from Tualatin High School Use Field's Creek every year to learn about testing water quality. Below is an article they wrote about their experiences: Tualatin High School, SWRP, and Bosky Dell Natives By, Nishan Senthirajah The Student Watershed Research Project is a self-support program of Portland State University s Environmental Science and Management Department. This great group of people work with students, teachers, scientists, businesses, governmental agencies, and community groups to link watershed education with the collection of high quality data. SWRP is on a mission to develop awareness, knowledge, commitment, and skills leading to a responsible behavior and productive actions to benefit water quality and watershed resources. The Tualatin High School IB Environmental Systems and Societies class recently visited Fields Creek to test its water quality and investigate what lies within and around that water. We found incredible things and gained great knowledge of how the water quality we study in class actually applies to the outside world. For students, it is truly fascinating when you get to experience science first hand. My classmates, teachers, and I discovered many things during our visit to Fields Creek. One thing in particular that stood out to my classmates and I were the aquatic macroinvertebrates. These insects have no backbone and are visible to the naked eye, but are quite small. They live in the water for all or part of their lives, so their survival has a great relation to the water quality. Macroinvertebrates are sensitive to different physical and chemical conditions. If there is a change in the water quality, then the macroinvertebrates community may change as well. So the abundance of the macroinvertebrates community composition in a water body can be used, along with other abiotic indicators, to provide an estimate of a water body s health. Our class tested multiple sites and found that Bosky Dell had a huge diversity of macroinvertebrates. We found many Mayfly, Caddisfly, and Stonefly larva, which are sensitive to water conditions, and only live in healthy streams. We estimated that we caught a total of 75 different organisms! At other sites we tested we only caught about 20 organisms, and 19 of them were tolerant to bad water conditions. My fellow classmates and I are extremely grateful to Bosky Dell Natives for letting us use their stream for our water quality testing. Not only did we gain a great deal of knowledge during our visit, but also restoration at Fields Creek has been a success based on our findings.

When I first started Bosky Dell Natives, I had a permit in a logging zone, and many of our plants were rescued from areas that were destined to be developed or from construction sites. 20 years ago we had a really cool tag, but we lost it! A customer stopped by with her favorite native plant book, and was using our old tag as a bookmark. We have been reminiscing about our old tag and realized we didn't have one left. We made a new one this afternoon, and we're looking for a place to have it printed. If you happen to have an original you're willing to part with, we'll give you a plant in trade! Now the majority of our plants are grown in house from seeds or cuttings. We still occasionally rescue rare and unusual plants if we hear about impending construction in time. Here's a preview of our new design: 10/20 CHEERS TO VOLUNTEERS!!! Thanks to all the volunteers that showed up last week, Phase 2 of The Ditch Restoration Project was a great success! Many thanks to all who helped! We have posted a ditch restoration photo gallery on our facebook page, and we planted approximately 1200 Willamette Valley natives! Be sure to watch for them this spring as you drive down Borland Rd. 9/12 DITCH RESTORATION/DEMONSTRATION PROJECT PHASE 2:Saturday, October 15th 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM Working with VOLUNTEERS, BOSKY DELL NATIVES, WATER ENVIRONMENT SERVICES, SWMMACC, SOLV, and JUDY BLUE HORSE SKELTON We really need your help for this project!

We will be restoring the ditch that runs from Bosky Dell Lane to the Fields Creek Bridge on the downhill side. This project is designed to be a demonstration of how important ditches are. They act as a channel to divert water and direct it downhill to our streams and rivers. I want to bring awareness as to how much ditches can and do help with keeping our rivers clean by trapping sedimentation and impurities that travel downhill, off the pavement with the rain. We want to plant this ditch with lots of sedges, rushes, ferns and wildflowers. The idea is that it will be beneficial to wildlife, beautiful for people to see as they drive down the road, protect fish and wildlife, and help clean up our rivers and streams. These plants have a big job ahead of them to trap all of these impurities and protect the streams and rivers. With years of filtering and collecting debris, the lower end of the ditch may need to be scooped out and replanted to enable it to continue to cleanse the water path. If this needs to be done, it's just a good indicator as to how beneficial the plants were in protecting the stream. I hope that this ditch project will educate the public and inspire others to do what they can, with ditches everywhere.Phase 1will be the removal of invasive species, whilephase 2(this fall) will be a follow up removal of invasive species that snuck back in, and planting the ditch. DON'T DITCH THE DITCH. Please help in any way if you can! We will be serving some snacks and at the end of the party we will be giving thanks for the opportunity to restore the ditch.Please show up in comfortable clothes you can work in and get dirty, and please call me at503-638-5945if you have any questions.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS TAKEN THE TIME TO HELP US, YOUR TIME IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!! ATTENTION FARMERS: Increase crop production and pollination by placing any of these bee attractants next to your crop. Keep your bees happy, and keep your crops plentiful! BEE BUZZ! My friend Rian has worked with me at Bosky Dell since he was a young kid. He is now a berry farmer helps me during his off-season. He learned about bee attractors working with native plants at Bosky Dell and applied that knowledge to increase his crop production. He says the neighboring farms have bee boxes for bees. Rian invested in native bee attractive plants has integrated them into his fields of berries. He has much better pollination than the neighboring farms because he knows what it takes to bee attractive! The bees may live at the neighboring farms, but they spend their days buzzing their favorite blossoms at Rians. GO NATIVE - BEE HAPPY! WHERE HAVE ALL THE HONEY BEES GONE?

Ketzel Levine, former senior correspondant for NPR mentions Bosky Dell in her recent article covering Mimulus. FEELING SLUGGISH?! HOW ABOUT A QUICK LESSON IN NATIVE SLUGS..... Above is a photo of the colorful Pacific Banana Slug. These large slugs are in the family Arionidae and the subfamily Ariolimacinae. While the Pacific Northwest is home to a variety of slugs, not all of them are native. The native species play an important ecological role in the natural environment, but exotic species tend to ravage our crops in an often irritating and sometimes expensive manner.
