A Greater Vision for a Great Park: Volunteer Today

Since 1989, Forest Park Conservancy has led the way to protect this natural treasure, By forming partnerships and building awareness, we are helping maintain Forest Park’s health and preserve its legacy for generations to come.

FPC has four key goals:

1. STREAMS: Protecting and improving water quality in the Park’s more than 30 miles of streams, to safeguard watershed functions and human health
2. CONNECTIVITY: Improving the connectivity between Forest Park, the Tualatin Mountains, the Coast Range and the Willamette River.
3. FORESTS: Improving forests to support diversity, environmental integrity, connectivity and complexity.
4. WILDLIFE: Maintaining and protecting native wildlife diversity The GFPCI is a significant undertaking in many ways. In addition to identifying needed restoration efforts inside the Park, the GFPCI recognizes the importance of the larger link between Forest Park and the Coast Range. The GFPCI also calls for protection and restoration efforts in areas immediately adjacent to the Park, to help stop the continual re-infestation of invasives and other threats from the outside of the Park’s boundaries.

When you become a volunteer with FPC, they train and lead educational hikes in the park. This is a great way to learn about the native plants and species to the area. You will also learn how to:

• repair and maintain trails and bridges
• remove invasive weeds
• plant native trees and shrubs

•
