Portland’s largest nature patch yet is in the works and nearly ready for plants. Please join Portland Parks & Recreation, Green Lents, and the Johnson Creek Watershed Council to plant this lovely ribbon of pollinator-paradise flowing through the park.

Parks staff have been transforming the southeast corner of Lents Park with fresh compost, tons of boulders, new trees, and habitat features to create a vast natural garden stretching from the forest understory to upland meadow with much in between. Learn more about the project here.  RSVP for this planting here.
