We are having a second round on the invasive species removal at the King Facility Parking Lot, next Jan 16th, for MLK day. I talked with Americorps and they seem very interested in helping us in the project. Hopefully they will send some hands the 16th.
The Portland Farmers Market is also planing to bring a small crew on Saturday 14th, a tent and some snacks. So far, it is unlikely that we will have an excavator on this day.
I estimate that now we are around 20 volunteers, but some will come on the 14th and others the 16th. We would love to have 20 more folks helping us. Please join us!
We have a truck to do the trips to Metro on Saturday, but still none for Monday 16.
The land we’re clearing of invasive species, and prepping for later installation of native plant species, borders the King Facility parking lot, at 7th & NE Wygant.
We are also looking for someone to watch kids so we can provide day care for the volunteers.
Let me know if you can help.
