Join us as we care for the Parkrose Orchard! This space is a young orchard of well-cared-for trees, with lots of different varieties of fruit and native plants to explore. We will be weeding the tree bases, pruning back the native plants, and mulching! We're going to have a special guest at this Parkrose work party - Denise with 350PDX will be coming by!
From 350PDX - Portland has an exciting election coming up this fall: every city council seat is up for election, and we’ll also be using ranked-choice voting (instead of winner-takes-all) to select 12 councilors in 4 districts, as well as a new mayor. This is an unprecedented opportunity to make sure our future government takes climate considerations seriously. Roll up your sleeves, we'll be doing a bit of tree care while exploring the upcoming Portland City Council election and climate justice advocacy!
This is a lovely space and we have many opportunities to learn and harvest from these trees in collaboration with the Parkrose Community United Church of Christ.
