Join Friends of Trees to pull invasive English Ivy in preparation for future native tree planting in Forest Park!

Our Forest Park sites are small and located in sensitive habitat, so we need to limit how many people can participate. Please REGISTER HERE to save your spot! We'll respond with the exact site location and other event details.

Please arrive 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!

This planting is part of Portland Parks and Rec's No Ivy Day in partnership with Forest Park Conservancy and supported by REI. Please contact Jenny or Ian at (503) 595-0213 if you have any questions or need more information. We look forward to seeing you out there!

Agenda | Registration 

Please join us on June 19th for "Connecting Clark County" -- an Intertwine Alliance event that brings together Southwest Washington leaders and practitioners active in outdoor recreation, community development, and environmental work.

With this first regional Summit, we aim to:

• create a more unified vision and strategy for advancing successful environmental and parks initiatives;
• more fully engage the public and area elected officials; and
• build a stronger network of providers in the region.

In addition, we hope to more closely connect Clark County practitioners with the work occurring throughout the four-county Intertwine. 

The Intertwine Alliance is a bi-state coalition of 117 organizations, agencies and for-profit entities working to advance environmental conservation and public engagement issues.

We look forward to supporting this important effort to move a regional agenda north of the river forward. For more information, contact David Cohen, Program Manager.
