Kelley Point Park - Mulching Event

Please join Portland Parks & Recreation and the Columbia Slough Watershed Council to mulch and care for recently planted native shrubs and trees at Kelley Point Park. 

Adding mulch around plants helps them hold onto moisture during the dry summer months, and helps keep weedy plants out. Native plants support a diversity of insects and wildlife, and provide cleaner air and water for all inhabitants of our city.

Please dress for the weather, wear sturdy, waterproof shoes, and bring personal water bottle and snacks. Tools, gloves, project instruction, coffee/tea and light snacks will be provided.

Registration is required.

Parking and Public Transit: Please park in the first paved parking lot on your left after you turn onto N. Kelley Point Park Road. Please do not leave valuables in your car. 

TriMet bus #11 stops at N Columbia and Simmons but runs very infrequently on Saturdays! It is 1 mile to the park from there.
