Godfrey Park Ivy Removal Party (Oct 22)
2022-10-22 09:00 - 12:00 | OR
Fall weather appears to be around the corner and we are going to welcome the change in Season by having an Ivy Removal Party over at Godfrey Park this weekend!
Godfrey Park is one of the little-known hidden gems of St. Helens and though it may be small, it plays a bigger part of our lives than we may think. For it is both a tiny part of our watershed and a little piece of the natural world where people from far and wide can come and spend time outside.
So, it’s time to give back to this wee area by taking care of the local shrubs and trees that call it home, continuing the work that we began back in March.
Please join us on Saturday October 22 from 9:00 am – 12:00 pm. We’ll be waiting to spend some time bonding and taking care of our natural world. If you can’t make it on Saturday, there is another chance to join us at the next session on Sunday, October 23 from 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm.
Address: 265 Strand Street, St Helens, OR 97051
For more information or to sign up to volunteer, please contact Emily Martin at emily@scappoosebay-wc.org or call her at (503) 298-5440.
