Volunteer Opportunities From: Forest Park Conservancy

This is a sign-up for trained Volunteer Crew Leaders only. 

This registration includes separate shifts for each work party FPC will be leading in November, at both Forest Park and Marquam Nature Park. Please refer to the Get Connected volunteer calendar or the FPC Events Calendar to checkout the locations and work descriptions for each work party, then you can register for the corresponding shift date here. If there is no volunteer event on the calendar for a VCL shift, then it is a private event. Reach out to kyla@forestparkconservancy.org for event details. Keep a eye out for an email from Kyla ~ 1 week before the shift with more information.

Thank you so much for your help making our events safe, fun, and successful!

 

 

Join us for a raking volunteer event to help protect our trails through the winter! We'll be clearing fallen leaves from the trail surface to reduce erosion and support natural water flow. Removing this moisture-trapping organic matter helps prevent trail damage during the wet and freezing months ahead. Your efforts will make a big difference in keeping the trails safe and sustainable all season long.

When: Saturday, November 29th, 2025, from 9 am-12 pm.

Where: Springville Rd TH. Parking is limited. Carpooling is encouraged.

What: Raking. We will be working on the trails, which requires hiking (up to 3 miles) and physical labor in the forest (up to 2.5 hours).

Long pants, long socks, and sturdy, closed-toe tennis shoes or hiking boots with good traction are required for your safety. Long-sleeved shirts and 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, coffee, and work gloves will be provided.

For Volunteer Crew Leaders: raking course 24.
