Volunteer: Volunteer Crew Leader Training – March 21st, 2026 (Leif Erikson @ Thurman)

This is a sign-up for a Volunteer Crew Leader training.

Are you a regular at Forest Park Conservancy volunteer events and ready to take the next step? Consider becoming a Volunteer Crew Leader (VCL)!

VCLs are essential to making our volunteer work parties run smoothly. They:

Arrive early to help set up and welcome volunteers.Support FPC staff during the event by fostering a positive, inclusive atmosphere.Help guide stewardship work, ensuring high-quality standards and sharing skills with fellow volunteers.Wrap up the day with tool clean-up and a debrief with staff.

With some FPC events bringing in 30+ volunteers, VCLs make a huge difference in creating a supportive and successful experience for everyone.

Becoming a Volunteer Crew Leader is a great opportunity to hone your leadership skills, meet new people, expand your knowledge of stewardship best practices, and spend more time in Forest Park and Marquam Nature Park!

When: Saturday, March 21st, 2026 from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm.

Where: Leif Erikson Drive @ Thurman.

What: We’ll start with a 30-minute introduction covering FPC’s work, the restoration season, and the role of VCLs. Then, we’ll head out for about 2 hours of on the ground training in ivy removal, blackberry removal, and planting- connecting as we go. We'll finish up by going over VCL expectations, registration logistics, and communication. Expect hiking (up to 2 miles) on uneven terrain and physical labor in the forest.

No previous leadership experience is required—just bring your enthusiasm!

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!
