Join Oregon State Parks and others stewards by volunteering to spruce up Mayer State Park! By picking up litter and pulling invasive plant species we help ensure a clean and beautiful Oregon for all and can call ourselves true Oregonians. Following the clean up stay around for some fun in the Park. We will have coffee/coco, snacks, and offer kayak tours (as available) after we all do our part to keep Mayer State Park beautiful. Activities include: Invasive Plant Removal, Litter Cleanup.

We will be partnering with Lewis & Clark College.70 of their students will be coming to our neighborhoods on Saturday, August 29th as a part of their New Student Orientation program, to help us with an Alley Cleanup event. Students will work with neighbors to clean up the alleys! We anticipate that we will need about 7 vouchers, as neighbors will be using their own light trucks to haul collected waste from alleys to Metro Central for disposal. We will take any re-useable items to Goodwill. Activities include: Invasive Plant Removal, Litter Cleanup.
