Project details
Join Portland Parks & Recreation and Friends of Woods Park to remove ivy at Woods Memorial Nature Park 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. Woods Memorial Nature Park is a lovely Southwest Natural Area that is part of the Fanno Creek Watershed and houses two forks of Woods Creek. With around 98% of the landscape consisting of native plants species, this peaceful site attracts wildlife and is a great place to get outside and enjoy nature.
Tools, gloves, water, and project instructions provided. Please dress for the weather, wear sturdy close-toed shoes, and bring your own personal water bottle and snacks. Volunteers will be working off trail on uneven ground.
