Earth Day at Marquam Nature Park

Join Marquam Nature Park for an invasive species removal volunteer event to help restore native habitat! We'll be removing invasive plants to make space for native species to thrive and support future revegetation efforts. This important work helps improve the health and resilience of the forest ecosystem for years to come.

In celebration of Earth Month, we’ll be raffling off one donated Wildwood Candle Co. candle at each volunteer work party in April! Sign up now for a chance to give back to the forest and win one of these unique, Forest Park–themed candles.

Register HERE.

When: Saturday, April 25th, 9:00am to 12:00pm.

Where: Marquam Nature Park Shelter. Parking is limited. Carpooling is encouraged!

What: Removing and cutting up invasive species.

We will be working on the trails, which require hiking (up to 3 miles) on uneven terrain and physical labor in the forest (up to 2.5 hours). Long pants, long socks, and sturdy, closed-toe shoes or hiking boots with good traction are required for your safety. Weather-appropriate layers for sun/wind/rain are also recommended. Make sure to bring a water bottle - many folks find it beneficial to bring a small backpack as well. If you have any allergies, please bring medications in case of emergency! Training, tools, snacks, Equal Exchange coffee, and work gloves will be provided.

Thank you to Voodoo Donuts for donating their delicious donuts to our Earth Day events!
