Celebrate Earth Month at Pier Park
Spend your Saturday morning at north Portland gem, Pier Park, for the returning Pier Park Pick Up hosted in partnership with the Friends of Pier Park and SOLVE Oregon!
We will be mulching, removing disruptive ivy, weeding in the Woodland Garden, and doing some minimal planting. Volunteers of all ages, skills, and abilities are welcome! No previous experience is required.
PP&R will provide training, tools, and gloves, and SOLVE will provide waste bags and litter pickers.
Register for the Pier Park Pick Up online.
Event Reminders
- Please bring a water bottle and dress for the weather, including wearing close-toed shoes.
- Work looks and feels different for every body. It's okay to go at your own pace and take breaks.
- These events run rain, shine, or something in between!
- If you are feeling sick, please take care of yourself and your community - stay home. There will always be more opportunities to volunteer!
