Every 2nd Saturday of the month from June through September, you will have the opportunity to help restore this beautiful urban greenspace. The morning will start with a lovely paddle from the Portland Boathouse to Ross Island. There, volunteers will remove litter and invasive plants from the island.
Along the way, learn about the history of the island, its ecological value, and the vision for its future.

- Children are welcome when accompanied and supervised by an adult.
