Terwilliger Parkway Stewardship Event

Project details

Join Portland Parks & Recreation and Friends of Terwilliger to remove noxious weeds. By removing invasive species and planting a diversity of native plants, we help enhance wildlife habitat, encourage the regeneration of native plant species, and prevent erosion and water runoff. 

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.
