The work party was originally scheduled on the 20th. SOLVE has now changed the date to the 27th, our regular fourth Saturday date. If you already registered you should get an email update. If you register now, the new date is in effect.
Last month we had a very successful work party. About 20 volunteers planted over 500 native plants and bushes along South Trail. This was in an area we cleared of ivy a few months ago. I look forward to watching this area mature.
In April we are working the third instead of the fourth Saturday and we are registering through SOLVE and not HandsOn Portland. I don’t know the reason for these changes. Just pointing them out. So…

Thank you for your interest in volunteering to keep Portland’s natural area parks healthy, beautiful, and safe for people and wildlife! Here are a few tips to get you ready for your stewardship event.
-Stay home if you are experiencing symptoms of any contagious illness or have had recent contact with someone exhibiting symptoms of any illness.
-In order to ensure your comfort and safety, please remember to dress for the weather, wear close-toed shoes, bring a water bottle, and be ready to get dirty!
-West side restoration events welcome children ages 6 and up with an attentive adult to supervise them during the work party. Youth ages 14 and up are welcome to participate without adult supervision. Please register and complete a youth waiver for all participants ages 6-17.
-While groups are welcome to join many of our regularly scheduled stewardship events, please contact the event coordinator listed in the description before registering with a large group. A large group is 10 or more people. To support large groups, we may need to schedule additional staff or find alternate days to volunteer to safely support each participant. We are also available to schedule special service events at your group’s convenience during the week or on weekends.
