Fanno Creek Natural Area Restoration Event (age 6+) *Impact Week*
Do you think nature is only found outside the city? Think again! Lend a hand in this small Portland Parks Natural Area nestled in Southwest and enjoy time working outside and meeting others in our community!
Join Westside Watersheds Resource Center and Portland Parks & Recreation for a morning of urban forest renewal. It's fun, close-in, accessible, and very important work. Remove ivy and other non-native weedy growing plants to restore this area along Fanno Creek.
Interested in signing up a large group? If you are interested in bringing 10 or more volunteers to this event, please contact the organizer beforehand - we may or may not be able to accommodate your group at the event.
