City of Portland Bureau of Environmental Services Green Street Stewards Program
The Green Street Steward Program allows Portland community members to participate in the care and maintenance of the city's green streets through simple activities such as picking up trash, removing leaves and debris, and occasional weeding and watering. Participating in this program is a rewarding way to contribute to the community and help keep Portland’s rivers clean.
