Volunteer Corner: In their own words
"Forest Park is a great place to recreate, and it's close to home. It is important that we maintain and care for our precious city wilderness. I would love to see some single-track mountain bike trails in Forest Park." - FPC Volunteer
"I have been trail running regularly, rain, snow or shine, in Forest Park since just before the All Trails Challenge in 2004, which I completed. I have received innumerable benefits in mind, body and soul by watching the seasons change, it has been the one constant, and is keeping me young. How could I not want to give back?" -FPC Volunteer
"Forest Park is such a wonderful resource. Given its proximity to town, we use it frequently and working one day to ensure its continuation as such a resource is the least we can do." -FPC Volunteer
"A resident of NW Portland, I am a regular user of the trails in Forest Park - as a runner and hiker. I have often felt that it was important to contribute my time to help maintain the trails that offer me so much enjoyment, exercise and escape. The FPC Day of Stewardship offered a perfect opportunity." -FPC Volunteer
