Nine Mile Run Restoration Tours

The Nine Mile Restoration is one of the most significant urban stream restorations in the country and continues to serve as a living laboratory for researchers through the years. We lead guided tours to connect people across the country with its rich cultural and ecological history.

Workshops, Creative Events & Collaborations

The restoration of Nine Mile Run was spearheaded by a group of artists, and we keep that creative spirit alive by collaborating with artists and local businesses to host workshops, trivia nights, themed volunteer events, and other fun ways to connect the public with our work.
