Do you think nature is only found outside of the city? Think again! Come volunteer at the highest point in Portland and enjoy your Saturday morning working outside and meeting others in our community. Join Friends of Marquam Nature Park and the West Willamette Restoration Partnership for a morning of urban forest renewal. Its fun, close-in, accessible, and very important work.
