Preparing For Emerald Ash Borer - Workshop

On June 13, from 10-11:30 a.m., join Parks & Recreation staff to learn about the emerald ash borer (EAB), an invasive beetle that infests and kills ash trees. This tiny green insect has the potential to wipe out native and non-native ash in only a few years.

EAB is expected to arrive in Lake Oswego sometime in the near future. Once EAB arrives in an area, it cannot be eradicated. However, even though it cannot be eradicated, there are steps we can take to slow its spread and limit its impacts.

This free workshop will cover ash tree identification, signs and symptoms of EAB, management strategies, and tree species alternatives for replacing ash.

Capacity is limited to 40 participants. Register now!

Stafford Road Closure

Construction work is progressing on Clackamas County's Stafford Road Improvement Project.

For more information and the most current construction schedule and updates, visit www.clackamas.us/engineering/st-rd-improvements or call the County’s general engineering number at 503-742-4691.

The Clackamas County Road Improvement Project involves adding a roundabout at Childs Road, realigning Johnson Road to eliminate intersection skew and reduce steep slopes, adding a southbound left-turn lane at Johnson Road, widening Stafford Road between Pattulo Way and Rosemont Road to add bike lanes, and replacing the Pecan Creek culvert at Childs Road with a larger, fish-passable culvert.

Construction is expected to continue on this project through December 2026.
