Monthly Work Parties

Hands On Greater Portland has helped us organize our volunteers for years. Now that we have merged with Forest Park Conservancy, we will be transitioning to posting our work parties on the FPC events calendar and registration will occur there. We appreciate your patience during this transition.

From November through March, our monthly work parties usually focus on invasive plant removal and planting. From April to October work parties usually focus on trail maintenance. We will be repairing winter damage to the trails and working to improve grade and drainage.

When: From 9 am until noon, most 2nd Wednesdays and 4th Saturdays of each month. In 2025 we will be taking a break in the summer and there will be no work parties in August or early September. We will resume regualr work parties on September 27.. Check the website for updates, added work parties and weather cancellations.
