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!
