Help is needed to plant hundreds of native trees and shrubs at the unique Gateway Green Park! Join Friends of Trees, Friends of Gateway Green, Portland Parks and Recreation, and Portland OIC as we enhance the natural area in this unique mountain-biking oasis situated in between I-84 and I-205.
This park is only accessible via the I-205 Multi-Use Path. There is an approximately 10 - 15 minute walk from the **SW corner** of the Fred Meyer parking lot (by the garden center across from The Oregon Clinic) down the multi-use path to our planting site, look for our signs. Volunteers are encouraged to bike to the planting or take public transportation to the transit center and walk from there.
Please arrive by 9:45am to sign-in and be assigned a planting crew. The planting starts at 10:00am. We provide gloves, tools, and planting guidance, as well as breakfast snacks and coffee/tea/hot chocolate -- all you need to do is show up dressed for the weather wearing sturdy shoes or boots, and be ready to have fun!

Youth 16 and older can volunteer on their own and will need to hand us a signed youth waiver form by their parent/guardian.
