Join PP&R for a family-friendly spring stewardship event to help remove invasive ivy and dig out blackberry roots from a beloved neighborhood park in SE Portland!
Volunteers will learn how to properly remove ivy and blackberry through manual removal. This area will be replanted with native plants when all the ivy has been removed and the soil has been rebuilt.

Site Accessibility
There are no restrooms or paved paths at this park. Navigating across open meadow and grass is required for this event. The surfaces are mostly even. This is a heavily shaded park, and there may be plant debris such as fallen pinecones on the grass and pathways.
Invasive weed removal typically involves kneeling, pulling, cutting, lifting, and digging.
