With much anticipation, Oregon Parks Forever and SOLVE Oregon are inviting all outdoor enthusiasts to join us on November 4-5th, for our first volunteer project for a new program—We Care for Parks.
The Minto County Park near Gates, Oregon, was badly burned and damaged during the Labor Day Wildfires of 2021. We’re excited to join forces with SOLVE Oregon to help turn this park into an oasis!
You can join us for either or both Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. When you register you will receive more details on the event. (We can say that there will be a break for lunch, with food carts at the park, and we have some pretty sweet swag to say "thank you" for your help.) Space is limited, so sign up to reserve a place.

Due to record-breaking fires and repeated, extreme heat waves, Oregon trees and park-structures have experienced unusually severe damage in recent years. Additionally, challenges in resources and funding have resulted in deferred park maintenance across the state. The We Care for Parks program will help restore and preserve Oregon parks for all to enjoy for years to come. Become part of the team. (continued..)
