Marshall Park Trails Restoration Event (age 10+) *Hands On*

Portland Parks & Recreation's - Natural Area Stewardship program works with volunteers of all ages to help enhance and restore Portland Parks natural areas, to provide habitat to wildlife and insects, and provide safe trails to park visitors.

About this Opportunity

- Join Portland Parks & Recreation staff and community volunteers in completing important ecological enhancement and clean-up projects on Powell Butte. Projects vary throughout the year and include planting and plant care, litter pick up, weedy plant removal, and/or fence work. No experience necessary! Children welcome, and must be accompanied by an attentive adult.

Volunteers will learn about soft surface trails, how build trails, how to maintain trails and what to look for on trails. We also will be learning about the parks we are working in.

How to prepare: Please dress for the weather, wear sturdy shoes, and bring your own personal water bottle and snacks. PP&R will provide tools, gloves, and instruction.
