Get out in the Woods! (age 0+) *MLK 2016*
Join us in honoring the legacy of Dr. King through meaningful service to our community: "Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve."
-- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Join Portland Parks & Recreation and Friends of Woods for a morning of ivy removal to continue our efforts to restore this park. Join seasoned volunteers and learn about this beautiful natural area and the benefits it adds to our city. Volunteers will focus on removing English ivy from around trees and native plants to allow them to thrive in this park.
The mission of Portland Parks & Recreation is to help Portlanders play - providing the safe places, facilities, and programs which promote physical, mental, and social activity. We get people, especially kids, outside, active, and connected to the community. As we do this, there will be an increase in the wellness of our residents and the livability of our city. The stewardship program aims to engage residents as stewards of Portland’s parks and recreation system to help preserve the legacy for future generations.
Volunteers should dress for the weather, wear long pants, sturdy, closed toed shoes, bring rain gear and a water bottle. Tools, gloves, instructions and light snacks will be provided.
