- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
MLK day of service is officially on Monday but we're going to get an early start! We'll be pulling English ivy which is a colonizing weed that can compete with other native plants and take over forests. We'll also check on the new plants we planted at the Healthy Forest Day!
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service is the only federally-recognized Day of Service, and was declared in 1994 as "a day on, not a day off". On this day, we remember Dr. King’s legacy of service, and reflect on his and our actions for social progress. Dr. King not only championed civil rights, but he also inspired the environmental justice movement through his concern for the urban environment.
Everyone deserves access to healthy greenspaces. This is why the work that we do at McCollum, and across our local parks is important. We are not just building healthy forests, but also healthy communities and striving towards environmental justice and equity. So when you join us this Saturday, keep in mind how you are caring for your community and keeping alive Dr. King’s legacy of service!

Mission Statement
Forterra's mission is to act with immediacy to protect, enhance and steward our region's most precious resources--its communities and its landscapes. Since 1989, we have been working toward a future in which our children and grandchildren can experience nature in and around our urban environments.
Description
Forterra conserves land by working with individuals, companies and local governments. We strive to maximize the ecological value of land, while meeting the needs of landowners. We may accept land as a donation, purchase it, or transfer it to public ownership. We often serve as a broker to identify and negotiate the most effective ownership to protect important lands. We establish conservation easements to preserve special features. For each and every property, we explore available strategies or create new ones to provide permanent protection. Forterra has established a Conservation Agenda for our region, with specific priorities and methods for each type of landscape. Current initiatives include the protection of working forests on the foothills of the Cascades, and the creation of salmon sanctuaries along our region's highest quality rivers and streams.
