Project description :
Volunteer at Hoyt Arboretum for No Ivy Day! No Ivy Day is part of a larger city-wide effort to remove invasively growing English Ivy from Portland's natural areas. With 189-acres and more than 6,000 trees along 12 miles of trails, volunteers are incredibly important to maintaining Hoyt Arboretum's tree collection and trail system, and it's a unique opportunity for volunteers to learn about and care for rare and unusual trees and plants from around the world.
We will meet in the maintenance yard located behind the Visitor Center and walk a short distance to the work site. Gloves, tools, parking passes, and onsite training are provided. Volunteer crews happen rain or shine, so we ask that folks dress for the weather and wear sturdy shoes and long pants. Please bring water, snacks, and any personal items you might need.
Registration is required through Hoyt Arboretum. Click the button below to learn more and register.
