native plants

Dust off those boots and get your hands dirty planting native trees, removing invasive species, cleaning up litter, and helping restore critical habitat for native plants and wildlife.

• Dig in with SOLVE this fall at restoration and cleanup sites across the Portland-metro area. Over time, this work will improve water quality, create wildlife habitat, and store carbon to slow climate change.
• Project dates and times vary and will happen rain or shine. All tools, gloves and supplies will be provided.
• Visit our calendar of events for a project near you!
• For more information or to register, visit: www.solv.org, email morgan@solv.org, or call 504-844-9571 ext. 332.
