Wild for the Woods is Forest Park Conservancy’s signature spring fundraiser—an engaging evening that brings together outdoor enthusiasts, conservation advocates, community leaders, and business partners to celebrate and support the vital work of protecting Portland’s treasured urban forests.
Last year at Wild for the Woods, we welcomed more than nearly 200 passionate supporters of Forest Park and Marquam Nature Park, and together, we raised over $53,500 for Forest Park Conservancy
Whether you’re a longtime Forest Park or Marquam Nature Park parkgoer, or you’re new to the magic of Portland’s urban wild, this event is for you! We have designed this celebration to be inclusive, meaningful, and most importantly, fun!
