There are tons of family friendly events to choose from across the state, with new projects added daily. You can even start a project of your own!

Has your child ever dissected an owl pellet? Built a robot from recycled materials? Or tasted cattail, a wetland plant? At Going Green Summer Camp, your child will explore, forage, play, and learn about sustainability and the natural world through hands-on activities and crafts. A special field trip to a local recycling center will wow your child with the power of recycling.

Going Green is for children entering 4th-6th grade. $169 per camper. Register now at columbiasprings.org!

Join Clark County staff at Whipple Creek Hollow, one of our key urban wildlife areas in the heart of Salmon Creek, for a volunteer work party.  Join a team to help restore trails and trailheads throughout the site. This 40-acre site hosts a variety of upland trees, flowers and wildlife.  Enjoy a hike through the site after the work party is complete and learn about the restoration efforts along Whipple Creek.  Light refreshments will be provided but bring a water bottle.  RSVP suggested.

Earth Day is a global celebration, and here in Oregon we take extra pride in caring for our environment and communities. Be part of our tradition of care by volunteering at SOLVE IT, presented by Portland General Electric on Saturday April 18th!

Litter and invasive plants have settled into the areas where we live, work and play. Now's your chance to join thousands of Oregon volunteers as we take back our city streets, local parks and natural spaces. Projects include litter cleanup, invasive plant removal, planting native trees and shrubs, and more. Sign up to volunteer by going to www.solveoregon.org, clicking "Get Involved" and selecting your favorite project from over 100 family friendly events.
