Stewardship Saturday: Plant Care at Kelley Point Park

  • Kelley Point Park North Kelley Point Park Road Portland, OR, 97203 United States (map)

Join CSWC and Portland Parks and Recreation for a day of stewardship Kelley Point Park! Kelley Point Park is uniquely situated at the confluence of three water bodies (the Columbia River, Willamette River and Columbia Slough). The park includes over 100 acres of natural area and hosts a variety of wildlife, including beavers, otters, deer, ospreys, and bald eagles. We will be continuing restoration efforts to improve the riparian area next to the Columbia Slough.

At this event we will be lending a hand to mulch our newly planted shrub and tree friends and help them get settled into their new home at Kelley Point Park. This work is particularly important at Kelley Point Park due to its sandy soil and dry summer conditions, making mulching necessary for plants to retain enough moisture in the summer months.

Meeting Location: Follow event signs to the middle parking lot (circled in black on map below). A Google Maps pin is here.

Tri-met: Trimet Line #11 will drop you off at Simonds and N Lombard. From here, walk N less than 1/4 mile and go left on N Kelley Point Rd.  Continue to parking lot.
