Enjoy a morning of volunteering with Ecotrust and Portland Parks and Recreation! We will be shearing the grass growing around newly established plants and spreading mulch around them. This will help lessen the competition around these plant babies and keep them moist during the summer. These plants will provide habitat to much of the local wildlife that call Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge home.
The plant tending is taking place in a mostly flat area with tall grasses. There will be a porta potty close to the work site and public restrooms at Sellwood Park near the parking lot.
