It's true that one person can make a difference. But a whole lot of people working together can move mountains (of ivy) and restore a forest, and a park, and a wetland and more. ivy

Here's a great chance to team up in a citywide volunteer day to remove ivy and other invasive plants and help restore our natural areas and forests. You'll never look at our forests and natural areas the same way again.

Sign up for the15th annual citywide No Ivy Day, October 27, 2018 from 9 a.m. to noon

Choose the site that works best for you - from  Gateway Green and Nadaka Nature Park on the east side to Forest Park and Westlake Woodland on the west.

Led by our sister bureau, Portland Parks & Recreation, the events involve numerous community groups as partners. Refreshments, tools, and instruction will be provided at all locations.

Afterwards, you can join in a free celebration lunch and raffle from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. at these locations: Mt Tabor, Forest Park and Marquam Nature Park. For more information sign up here.
