Altogether, 55 volunteers joined us in Forest Park and Marquam Nature Park. These volunteers pulled about 6k sq. feet of invasive English ivy and saved 22 trees from ivy! Additionally, thank you to KEEN for sponsoring our NLPD events and Voodoo Donuts for providing donuts for our volunteers!

National Public Lands was last weekend, and we want to take a moment to thank all of the volunteers who helped make our NLPD work parties a huge success!

Thank you to our friends at KEEN for joining us and sponsoring our National Public Lands Day efforts! We couldn't do it without you. 💚

Last week, employees from KEEN volunteered with us to help support our work on and off the trails! 94 KEEN employees joined us off and on the trails. In total they removed 5,000 square feet of English ivy in Forest Park, freed 7 trees from ivy, and decorated 161 thank-you cards!

A hearing on PGE's reapplication, the previous version of which was appealed 12-0 by City Council, has been scheduled for October 14th. If approved, this would give PGE the go-ahead to remove 4.7 acres of trees from Forest Park, among other ecological harms.

National Public Lands Day is less than a month away! To celebrate our favorite parks, we will be hosting volunteer work parties in Forest Park and Marquam Nature Park on National Public Lands Day (Saturday, September 26th) to remove invasive English ivy from our forests. 1/2
