This summer, team up with Resources for Health to build trails and remove invasive blackberry at Evergreen Park under the cool canopy of the woods! This project is part of an ongoing effort since our group adopted the park in 2010 to replace destructive monoculture with native plants and make trails more inviting for the community to enjoy. Tools and gloves are provided by the City of Hillsboro, and don't forget your reusable water bottle. Please arrive early to sign in before the event. Learn more about Resources for Health at resourcesforhealth.org! Activities include: Invasive Plant Removal, Litter Cleanup, Maintenance & Monitoring.

Join forces with the Lower Columbia Estuary Partnership, Willamette Riverkeeper and Portland Parks & Recreation for a Big Canoe adventure to Ross Island Natural Area! Meet at Willamette Park and paddle in a 29' canoe to Ross Island. Once on the island, we'll work to enhance wildlife habitat by removing invasive species and learn more about the flora and fauna that call Ross Island home.

Big Canoe trips are open to the public and are suitable for ages 6 and up. Previous paddling experience is not necessary. Life jackets, paddles, canoes, gloves, tools and guides are provided.
