Special Event

Forest Park Conservancy will be celebrating National Trails Day this year on Saturday, June 5th, and we’re inviting you to join!

We’ll be brushing the trails to cut back the excess growth along the trails. If we don’t brush the trails, the narrowing of the path for users accelerates erosion and creates less safe pathways for park users.

When: Saturday, June 5th, 9am to 12pm.

What:  We will be brushing trails throughout Forest Park.

Where: The location will be emailed to all participants the week of volunteering. Parking is limited. Carpooling encouraged!

Pack plenty of water and dress for all weather conditions. Long pants and sturdy, closed-toe shoes are required for your safety.  All training, tools and work gloves will be provided.

Additionally, FPC will continue to abide by the Oregon Health Authority guidelines, and we ask that all participants follow our policy guidelines found here. All participants will be asked to wear a mask and remain 6ft from any other participant group, and FPC will make every effort to provide materials to keep participants safe and healthy!

This is a sign-up for a basket-weaving course in Forest Park.

When: Sunday, February 11th, 2024 from 9am – 11am.

Where: Lower Macleay Park (Parking is limited, carpooling is encouraged!)

What: Join Lise Gervais, a basket-weaving instructor, for a workshop on using natural materials, specifically English Ivy, to weave baskets and other crafts in a workshop designed for everyone. 

Preparation: Bring yourself and a positive attitude!

We provide: An outstanding instructor, rubber-palmed gloves, hand pruners, and educational fun for the whole family.

Activity info: All participants must register for the event, which will be capped at 20 students to ensure plenty of attention to each and tools for everyone.

This activity takes place outdoors in the open air, and we have lots of room to spread out, but may need to be within a few feet of each other to demonstrate basket-making techniques. Masks and vaccination are not required for this activity. However, we require volunteers to stay home when feeling any symptoms of illness (regardless of COVID-19 test result) and fully support participants’ choice to wear a mask if desired.
