What: Join Portland Parks & Recreation and Forest Park Conservancy for a Wildfire Risk Reduction work party.

No previous experience is necessary, all tools, training, and guidance will be provided.
Preparation: Please wear closed-toe shoes, and long pants, and dress appropriately for the weather. Please also bring a water bottle (we will have a jug for refills). If you usually pack emergency medications such as Epi-Pens to outdoor activities, bring those along just as you normally would. For the safety of staff and other volunteers, please stay home if you are feeling sick.
We provide: Light snacks, coffee/tea, water, gloves, tools, training, and fun!
Activity info: This activity takes place outdoors, where we will be traveling off trail, on uneven surfaces. Requires bending and lifting.
