Hazeltine Park Tending Time

Description

Help us keep Hazeltine Park in bloom!

Join PP&R for volunteer events at Hazeltine Park to help with invasive plant removal, weeding, pruning, and mulching.

This is a great opportunity to learn more about gardening and native plants, and to connect with your neighbors and community. Plant care activities may vary monthly.

Open to all ages, paces, and skills. No experience is required to participate.

Youth under the age of 18 are welcome to attend with a parent or responsible adult.

Please register ahead of time by clicking "Respond" to sign up as an individual or "Respond for a team" to sign up more than one person. If you are not comfortable creating a login to register for any reason, please reach out to Kimberléa Ruffu (they/them) at kimberlea.ruffu@portlandoreon.gov.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with us!
