A Special Fall 2010 Canyon Day, Dedication Ceremony, and Family Event
The canyon expansion project is almost complete! During Fall 2010, the community celebrated the restoration efforts that have expanded the Reed canyon west of campus. Restoration efforts have created an ideal habitat for the wild salmon that have returned to Johnson Creek Watershed. View video of the fall 2011 canyon day, footage from the dedication ceremony, or photos.
Canyon Day history
Early Canyon Days involved raking leaves, burning debris, and attempting to make the canyon into a park. More recently, the focus of Canyon Day has been on protecting and restoring the natural vegetation to make the canyon a better habitat for urban wildlife. You can read more about how the event has changed over the years on our Canyon Day history page.
