Volunteer event

Portland Parks & Recreation is excited to partner with Friends of Trees to host this tree care event at Kelly Butte Natural Area.
We will be cutting grasses around and mulching newly planted native shrubs and flowers to improve their survival during the hot summer months. These plants will provide habitat to local wildlife that call Kelly Butte home! Please dress for the weather (layers and rain gear are great!), wear sturdy closed-toed shoes, and bring personal water bottle and snacks. Tools, gloves, project instruction, coffee/tea and light snacks will be provided.
