Forest Park Day of Stewardship: Saturday, September 20th

What: Join The Forest Park Conservancy as we celebrate the 60th anniversary of Forest Park's dedication with another community-wide volunteer work party. Our March event rallied over 165 volunteers, and we are hoping for an even larger turnout this time around. We will be installing split rail fence along Balch Creek, working on a number of trail projects, and removing non-native invasive species to prepare sites for planting this winter.

When: 9 am to 1 pm, with a volunteer appreciation party to follow. Volunteers will receive food and beverages, and we will be raffling off KEEN shoes, Forest Park map sets, and passes to the Columbia Sportswear employee store.

A.K.A. Science, an after school science program for low-income Portland schools, needs help putting together science supply kits for its classes. We will donate a percentage of money to each group that helps us out! This is usually about $10 per kit completed. Times are flexible- a group can sign up for any time from 9 am to 9 pm on September 25-28. It's fun and easy, and mostly consists of counting and sorting supplies. Snacks provided!

If your organization, group, club, or non-profit is looking to raise a little bit of money while helping us out, please contact Lisa Pitts at [email protected]  or 503-682-1300, ext. 101.
