Fanno Creek starts in Portland’s West Hills and meanders 15 miles draining 20,250 acres of the residential, commercial and industrial lands of west Portland, Beaverton, Tigard and portions of Washington and Clackamas Counties. Fanno’s tributary streams provide cool water and habitat for native fish and also support wildlife downstream in the Tualatin River. Numerous native plant species and over 100 different bird species have been observed in this watershed. Beyond providing a place for wildlife to live, healthy rivers and wetlands keep our neighborhoods livable and protect our infrastructure.
Partnering with Washington County’s Clean Water Services, Pioneer took the step to restore their privately owned section of Fanno Creek on 74th Avenue in Tigard, OR. They also signed a 20-year stewardship agreement to provide access and preserve the habitat on their property.
