This Earth Day, make sure you don’t forget to shout out Earth for keeping us all grounded. Sorry, that pun was on a low-hanging branch.
Alright — all terra-ble jokes aside, Earth Day is on Tuesday, April 22 and many Portland organizations and community groups are hosting events that celebrate our local natural wonders and working to keep them nice and green.
Let’s dig into a few highlights.
Oregon Spring Cleanup | Saturday, April 12-Tuesday, April 22 | If flexibility is what you need to join the party, this statewide initiative is looking for volunteers throughout the week on projects like trash pick-ups (sometimes coupled with beer sipping), garden tending, and digging out pesky blackberry vines.
Oregon Garden Earth Day | Saturday, April 19 | If you don’t mind a bit of a drive, this celebration at the Oregon Garden comes with eco-friendly green vendors, face painting, a chance to meet Caesar the No-Drama Llama, and good food.
Earth Day 2025 | Saturday, April 26 | Local collective Making Earth Cool is hosting a rad little festival featuring a parade, seed collecting, a costume contest, and cake + tea potluck.
