Description

Join Portland Parks & Recreation and the South Portland Riverbank Partners for the morning of planting and caring for native plants, removing invasive weeds, picking up litter and more along the Willamette River!

 

The group meets every third Saturday of the month except for August and December. Activities vary with the seasons, but all volunteer work will improve wildlife habitat and water quality to help keep the Willamette River healthy, beautiful and safe for people and wildlife.

 

Tools, gloves, training, and snacks will be provided.  Please come dressed for the weather, wear close-toed shoes and bring a water bottle. Bring a friend and be ready to get dirty!

 

Meet the group at the picnic shelter at the southernmost end of the park.
