habitat restoration

If your property has a slope, stream bank or other area prone to erosion, this is the workshop for you! Native plants are adapted to our climate and  create a web of roots to support your soil. This class, sponsored by West Multnomah Soil & Water Conservation District and Audubon Society of Portland, only costs $10 and includes a tour of nearby restored sites.  Every participant receives a free 4" native plant!  Register at: http://audubonportland.org/trips-classes-camps/adult/classes/erosion.

Want to learn more about habitat restoration in Forest Park and help lead projects at larger stewardship events? Sign up today for Forest Park Conservancy's annual Volunteer Crew Leader Training: Restoration Edition! This all-day training will focus on volunteer leadership skills, plant identification, invasive species removal and native species planting. Space is limited and commitment to volunteer crew lead at one or more 2013 restoration events is required.

Help plant and protect native trees in critical riparian habitat! Volunteer in the presence of swans, red-tail hawks, and bald eagles.

All work days are from 9 am to 12:30 pm rain or shine. Wear waterproof footwear, bring gloves, and dress for the weather. Light refreshments and hot drinks will be provided. All volunteers must sign a volunteer service agreement (if under 18 must be signed by parent or guardian) which can be found at: http://www.fws.gov/ridgefieldrefuges/ridgefield/getinvolved.html.

Interested in planting trees? Meeting some neat people? Obtaining a few service learning hours? Then please join us!

As part of the Rock Creek Partnership with SOLVE and the Clackamas River Basin Council, Friends of Trees is leading volunteer restoration events along the banks of Rock Creek and its tributaries. Rock Creek is a tributary to the Clackamas River and supports numerous species of wildlife, including salmonids. This project is supported with funding from Clackamas County Water Environment Services, on behalf of Clackamas Service District No. 1.

Please arrive by 8:45am to enjoy some hot coffee and breakfast treats and get assigned a crew. The planting starts promptly at 9:00am. We provide gloves and tools, so all you need to do is show up dressed for the weather and wearing sturdy shoes or boots.

RSVPs are not required (although we do appreciate knowing about groups larger than 5 members). Please contact Andy or Jenny at (503) 595-0213 if you have any questions or need more information. We look forward to seeing you out there!
