Help needed at Nadaka Nature Park, an amazing natural area and adored public park in Gresham. The park serves the diverse residents of the area with a community garden, natural play area, and picnic shelter. We will be planting native trees, shrubs, and wildflowers as well as removing invasive species including Himalayan Blackberry and English Ivy.

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!

How do I register? Visit the Friends of Trees event calendar (https://friendsoftrees.org/event-calendar/), click on this event, and fill out the quick registration form. Groups and individuals welcome!

Under age 18? We request that youth 15 and under volunteer with a parent/guardian. Youth 16 and older can volunteer on their own and will need to hand us a signed youth waiver form by their parent/guardian. Find the youth waiver form here: https://friendsoftrees.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Youth_Waiver_Friends_of_Trees.pdf
