Project details: Join us to make new connections and restore the ecological health of Portland’s Errol Heights Park. Projects include weeding, trash pickup, and other tasks to be determined based on specific needs. Ecological enhancement of this area provides cleaner air for community members and cleaner water in Johnson Creek, which supports salmon and other water creatures. No experience necessary and everyone is welcome!

The meeting point is near the intersection of SE 45th Ave & Tenino Street (please be respectful of our neighbors and do not block driveways or mailboxes).Bus line 75, 71, 34 drop riders off near the park, which is about a 5-10 minute walk to the meeting point.Please note that service is irregular on weekends.
