The Reed Canyon provides 21 acres of high quality wildlife habitat
in the midst of the city and has been identified in the Johnson
Creek Basin Protection Plan as "the only naturally occurring pond
(or lake) remaining in the inner-city area." Currently, Reed
College is in the middle of two large-scale projects to restore the
canyon area and enhance wildlife habitat. One project was the
construction of the fish ladder that reconnected the lake and the
lower creek. The other project is the ongoing removal of invasive
weeds and the restoration of native vegetation in the canyon. Over
$750,000 has been invested by the college to date in the
restoration project, including a generous leadership gift from
Laurel Wilkening, Reed Class of ’66, with significant additional
support from John Gray and many other members of the Reed and
Portland community.
The objectives for the project are to improve habitat for birds,
animals, and aquatic species; create new spawning and rearing
grounds for salmon and other resident fish species; and assure the
quality of this important water source for the Johnson Creek
system. Most important, the project will work in concert with
efforts by the City of Portland and others in the region to
reconnect one of Portland’s remaining historical waterways to the
Willamette River and the Pacific Ocean and contribute to the
long-term survival of Oregon’s native fish populations.
