Woods Memorial Natural Area Restoration Volunteer Event; age Referral

Portland Parks & Recreation provides equitable access to welcoming places, programs, and services that improve community health and the environment, focusing on making parks safe, accessible, and responsive to diverse community needs through stewardship, equity, safety, and fostering well‑being for all residents.

Join Portland Parks & Recreation and Friends of Woods Park to steward Woods Memorial Natural Area. Volunteers will remove invasively growing species and plant a diversity of native plants to encourage regeneration, prevent erosion, and reduce runoff. This is a great way to get outside and connect with 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.

• Age: Volunteers must be 6 years of age or older to attend this project; volunteers under 16 must either attend with a parent/adult, or bring a waiver.

Referral Opportunity: This opportunity is run directly by one of our nonprofit partners. After you express interest, the partner will contact you with next steps and confirmation details.
