Project details
Join Portland Parks & Recreation and Marshall Park Neighborhood Association to remove noxious weeds and plant native plants in Marshall Park. The main stem of Tryon Creek flows through the park and supports a healthy population of coastal cutthroat trout. Removing invasively growing species and planting a diversity of native plants enhances wildlife habitat, encourages regeneration of native species and prevents erosion and water runoff. This is a great way to get outside and enjoy nature.
Please bring your own water bottle, wear closed toe shoes, and dress for the weather. Instructions, tools, and gloves will be provided. For the safety of staff and other volunteers, please stay home if you are feeling sick.
Please register ahead of time by selecting “respond” for an individual or “respond for a team” to register more than one person. If you are not comfortable creating a login to register for any reason, please reach out to monica.walker@portlandoregon.gov and we can help you get registered.
