Project Description:
Join Portland Parks & Recreation and Friends of Rocky Butte to remove English ivy at this special east side park! Rocky Butte has a fascinating history and is home to so much native wildlife. We will be working in a steep area and will be removing tree ivy to protect this important tree canopy.
