Errol Heights Park Stewardship Event

Project Details

Get involved with Portland Parks and Recreation, Friends of Errol Heights, and Johnson Creek Watershed Council in caring for this park. A diversity of native plants supports a diversity of insects and wildlife, providing clean air and water in our city. Volunteer will likely be removing undesirable plants, picking up trash, and planting native plants but tasks will shift as needs change on the site. No experience necessary and everyone is welcome! 

Registration is required
