Join Willamalane for a volunteer planting event meeting at Quartz Park!
Willamalane is working on natural restoration by replacing invasive species with native species.

HOW
Volunteers should be comfortable with inclement weather, bending, lifting, and walking on uneven terrain if coming to this planting event. We will be primarily using shovels and wheelbarrows to install the planting. Some personal protective equipment will be provided but be sure to wear hiking boots (waterproof boots are best, closed toe shoes required), long pants, and be sure to bring rain gear with you. Although unlikely, there may be portions of this site that are muddy and slippery. Snacks and beverages will be provided by Willamalane Parks and Recreation.
