Join the Friends of Buford Park & Mt. Pisgah at our beautiful Native Plant Nursery!
Work parties are held from 9-12 every Tuesday, Thursday and most Saturdays.
This is a wonderful opportunity for anyone interested in botany, plants native to the Upper Willamette Valley, nursery production and habitat restoration.
You will learn and have fun working alongside friendly fellow volunteers and nursery staff. Make sure to dress for the weather, as these volunteer events occur rain or shine!
Meet at the Friends Native Plant Nursery on the north end of Howard Buford Recreation Area.

Mission Statement
To protect and enhance native ecosystems and compatible recreation in the Mt. Pisgah area.
Description
The Friends believe that people and nature are intertwined. We’re a self-funded non-profit of nearly 1,000 members and volunteers investing our time, talent, and money so people and nature can thrive together in the greater Mt. Pisgah area.
We partner with Lane County Parks, Mount Pisgah Arboretum, The Nature Conservancy, Oregon State Parks, and other area landowners to enhance native habitat, improve trails, and involve volunteers in caring for the land.
Since our founding in 1989, the Friends of Buford Park & Mt. Pisgah have raised and invested millions of dollars in cash and volunteer contributions for habitat and trail improvements. We also explore Pisgah’s hidden treasures on guided tours and advocate for land protection regionally, such as the 1,300 acre Willamette Confluence Preserve next to Buford Park now owned by The Nature Conservancy.
