Volunteer Opportunities From: Forest Park Conservancy

Volunteer: National Public Lands Day - Saturday, September 26th, 2026 (Marquam Nature Park)

Celebrate National Public Lands Day with FPC on Saturday, September 26, 2026!

Join the nation’s largest single-day volunteer event for public lands. National Public Lands Day brings together thousands of people to care for and celebrate the outdoor spaces we all share. Whether you're planting trees, restoring trails, or simply gathering in nature, your actions help keep these spaces vibrant and welcoming.

This year Forest Park Conservancy will be celebrating by hosting volunteer restoration events in Forest Park and Marquam Nature Park! We'll be removing invasive plants to make space for native species to thrive and support future revegetation efforts. This important work helps improve the health and resilience of the forest ecosystem for years to come.

When: Saturday, September 26th, 9am to 12pm.

Where: Marquam Nature Park. Parking is limited. Carpooling is encouraged! A portable restroom will be available at this site.

What: Removing and cutting up invasive species. 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.

Thank you to Voodoo Donuts for donating their delicious donuts to our National Public Lands Day events!
