Governors Park No Ivy Day Event

Volunteer Event
Join us for the 21st Annual No Ivy Day!
9:00 am 12:00 pm

Project details

Join Portland Parks & Recreation to remove English Ivy from this lovely Natural Area nestled into the SW Portland hills. Acquired in 1894, this park was dedicated while Sylvester Pennoyer was Governor of Oregon (1894-1901), giving the park its name. Pennoyer was the first person to make a gift of property to the City of Portland for solely park purposes.

After the work party, join us to celebrate! There will be an after party at Marquam Nature Park and Mount Tabor Park from 12-1:30 including lunch and raffle prizes. For more information about celebrations, please contact Monica Hescheles monica.hescheles@portlandoregon.gov or 503-823-8367.
