Marquam Nature Park Stewardship Event

Project details:
Join PP&R and Forest Park Conservancy to help restore Marquam Nature Park. Volunteers will plant native plants. Removing invasively growing species and panting native plants enhances wildlife habitat, prevent erosions and reduces water runoff. This is a great way to get outside and enjoy nature.

Please bring your own water bottle, wear closed toe shoes, and dress for the weather. Instructions, tools, and gloves will be provided. For the safety of staff and other volunteers, please stay home if you are feeling sick.
