- Weedmapper
- WeedMapper is a web-based spatially referenced
database of noxious weeds that anyone may query.
The database includes information about weeds and
locations of noxious weeds throughout Oregon as
collected by responsible federal, state, and
local agencies. Weedmapper's electronic maps are
viewable at the state or county level.
- Willamette

The neighborhood associations listed below are in the
Pringle Creek drainage.
If you are looking for general information about
neighborhood associations, check out the city of Salem's neighborhood
association page or the map
of Salem neighborhood associations.
The Invasive Weed Outreach Project demonstrates
the harm caused by invasive weeds and teach Salem
gardeners, homeowners, and property owners how to
identify and eradicate those weeds. It focuses on
weeds that are widespread threats to urban
watersheds, and those that are readily recognizable.
The Invasive Weed Outreach Project has:
Published an informative visual guide to help
people identify and manage weeds effectively
Produced bookmarks that show and describe the
weeds and ways to control them
Placed signs in two Salem parks that show and
describe the effects of invasive weeds
Will give 1/2-hour presentations about
identifying and managing weeds to local area groups
The Invasive Weed Outreach Project is a joint
project of the Pringle Creek Watershed Council and
the Marion County Soil and Water Conservation
District. It was financed by a grant from the City of
Salems Watershed Protection and Preservation
Grant Program.
This introductory guide is intended for novices
who want basic information on natural landscaping,
streambank stabilization, and landscaping for
wildlife habitat using native plants.
This brochure provides a step by step, easy to use
guide to planting Willamette Valley natives along
your streambank. Species which are not native, are
not found frequently, or are not easily propagated
are not covered in this guide. For more detailed
information on native plant propagation and
identification, please refer to the references at the
end of the brochure.
This is an online edition of the Washington State
Dept. of Ecology manual. It is tailored for
freshwater plants found in Washington State's lakes,
rivers and streams.

Salem's trees have always been very important to
its residents. There are more than 95,000 trees
planted along our city streets and avenues. And those
are just the ones that the City of Salem is
responsible for! There are thousands of other trees
planted on private lands throughout the city. To find
out more information about our local trees and
efforts to protect them, visit this and its related
web pages.
In the summer of 2001, the City of Salem took part
in two studies to measure how much tree
"cover" there is in both Salem and the
Willamette Valley. Both studies used satellite
imagery that can detect the presence of trees.
However, the studies are quite different. For
example, the regional study of the Willamette Valley
(and Lower Columbia River) measure the changes of
tree canopy over a 30 year period. The Salem study
conveys detailed information on today's canopy cover
(within the city limits) and estimates the benefits
that the trees provide.
The Watershed Assessment provides current and
historic information on the physical, biological and
cultural landscape in the four Salem-Keizer urban
watersheds.
