Project details:
Join Portland Parks & Recreation on this city-wide effort to remove ivy and enhance Indian Creek Natural Area. Located along Johnson Creek in SE Portland, this area has a hidden gem that is only found during the raining season. During heavy rainfall, this seasonal creek cascades, into what some might even call a waterfall.
We will be working in a forest understory near the creek and gloves/tools will be provided. We will be working on uneven ground so please wear closed toed, sturdy shoes.
