The mission of Forest Park Conservancy is to protect and restore Portland’s forests for wildlife and people. Our organization supports Forest Park, Marquam Nature Park, and the thousands of individuals who visit them every year. Our work protects these forests, makes them more accessible, connects people with nature, and more. We achieve this through regular volunteer work parties, public events, advocacy work, and more.
Additionally, at Forest Park Conservancy we recognize that these parks are not islands, and work to steward forests beyond the borders of these parks to support the larger ecosystem. By doing all of this, we can better protect and restore these parks with the help of our community.
