Join us in celebrating Portland Parks & Rec’s 21st Annual No Ivy Day with Johnson Creek Watershed Council. Volunteers will spend the morning in the Back 5 Community Habitat Enhancement Project area removing ivy from the riparian zones and off trees to make room for native species.
Leach Garden, together with Wisdom of the Elders, the Blueprint Foundation, David Douglas High School, the African Youth & Community Organization, Johnson Creek Watershed Council, and experts from Portland Parks & Recreation, Portland Bureau of Environmental Services and many dedicated volunteers are restoring several acres to healthy habitat - all without the use of herbicides. The project provides hands-on educational and community science opportunities, with an emphasis on historically disenfranchised youth and adults. In addition to restoration steps, we assess and analyze change through surveys of plants, amphibians and macroinvertebrates.
The Back 5 is a habitat restoration project in progress and not currently open to the public. Volunteers will be hiking and working off-trail on uneven ground. Please dress for the weather, wear sturdy, closed-toed shoes, and bring a water bottle. Instruction, tools, gloves, water and snacks will be provided. The Back 5 is not currently ADA accessible. Recommended for kids 8 years and up.
