Tranquil Park is a 4.5 acre green space in Wilsonville. The City of Wilsonville and Friends of Trees are working to restore a healthy, native understory and plant later-succession conifers like Hemlock and Cedar. We will be planting native trees and shrubs as well as removing ivy and other invasive plants from the area.

We will be planting a few replacement trees and re-mulching previously planted trees. We are very excited to continue reforesting the transportation corridor that runs from the Columbia River in the North to the City of Gladstone in the south.

Metro, ODOT, BES and EMSWCD are partnering with Friends of Trees to increase livability, habitat and air quality along the I-205 corridor.

RSVPs are not required. 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!
