Project details:
Join Portland Parks & Recreation and Friends of Mt. Tabor Park to remove ivy at location for No Ivy Day 2025! For over 20 years PP&R has been working together with partner organizations and community members to remove invasively growing ivy and educate Portlanders about the importance of ivy removal during this city-wide event. Removing weedy introduced species helps restore wildlife habitat and creates space for a diversity of native plants and animals to thrive.
All tools and gloves will be provided. We will be working on uneven ground so please wear closed toed, sturdy shoes. Also, please dress for the weather, and bring a water bottle and snacks.
