Conservation/Restoration/Urban Forestry

Do you want to get your hands dirty?  Make a difference in a few short hours?  Learn to plant trees and meet great people?  If so, join us at Milo McIver State Park on Saturday, Oct 31st!

During this planting volunteers will plant islands of Oregon white oak and associated shrubs across the area known as the Upper Meadow. These efforts will be part of the first phase of meadow and oak-savannah restoration in the park.

Please arrive around 8:45am to be registered and assigned to a crew. The event will start promptly at 9:00am. We provide breakfast snacks and hot chocolate/coffee, as well as gloves, tools and guidance. Please come dressed for the weather and wearing sturdy shoes and get ready to have fun!

Looking to volunteer as a group? RSVPs are kindly requested for groups of more than 5 people - click HERE to do so. RSVPs are not required for individuals or groups of 4 or fewer -- you can simply show up!

Please contact Jenny or Randi at (503) 595-0213 if you have any questions or need more information. We look forward to seeing you out there!
