Wildwood Welcome Party: English Ivy Basket Weaving with Elder Celeste Whitewolf

A Celebration of Trees, Trails and Community

The Wildwood Welcome Party is an event focused on bringing together communities from all around Portland for a two-day event full of inclusive activities, where participants can choose from a variety of unique experiences and engage with Forest Park in ways that are fun, and relevant for them. Click here to see everything going on between June 17-18th! All events are free (thanks to support from our friends at Nike!) and open to all ages.

About English Ivy Basket Weaving

Join Elder Celeste Whitewolf for an ivy weaving workshop. Elder Celeste has taught numerous weaving courses and completed multiple artist residencies with the Josephy Center for Arts and Culture.

English ivy is a non-native species that thrive in Forest Park, to the detriment of native plants and trees. While it is necessary that our work involve the removal of ivy to restore Forest Park, ivy weaving workshops allow us to repurpose removed ivy into something beautiful.

We will be meeting at the Lower Macleay Park Pavillon, Lower Macleay Park, 2960 NW Upshur St, Portland, OR 97210, USA

This event has limited capacity. Please sign up by clicking YES on the green button at the top right of this page.
