Scheduled Events

The common spaces in Mountain park are home to a diverse forest and serve as a great wildlife corridor! Invasive species, especially ivy, have taken over the forest and we need your help! We will be pulling invasive ivy and other invasive species and seeding native groundcover. Pulling ivy requires volunteers to be able to bend over or kneel, but we can arrange alternate projects for those with different abilities or mobility issues.

We will be working outdoors so please dress for the weather (long pants and layers are recommended). Sturdy, closed-toed shoes are required. Bring your own water bottle and gloves.  Tools, gloves, and training will be provided. Please bring any medication you may need (Asthma Inhaler, Epi-Pen, etc.) Children are welcome if accompanied by an attentive adult. Unfortunately, there is no bathroom on site. Please stop by, learn about your neighborhood's woodland ecology, and lend a hand as we enhance the habitat and the beautiful natural environment of Mt. Park! 

Registration is required! Please RSVP by using the link below. Contact Jack Halsey at jack@oswegowatershed.org with any questions.

This is important work. With the help of volunteers, we will be able to gather data on oak trees in Lake Oswego such as tree health and location and express this information in a map that will further conservation efforts. We plan to collect data on hundreds of Oaks. That's where volunteers come in. Thank you for your support and interest.
