Opportunities From: Kindness Farm

Breathe the crisp air. Smell the flowers, the soil after welcomed rain. Listen to birds. Bathe in rays of sunshine. Get refreshed by a winter drizzle. A spring breeze. A summer sweetness.

Inhale and exhale full breaths of grounded serenity as your hands work the soil and you learn how to grow food.

Slow down and let this land soothe your body, mind, and spirit.

Meet new friends with smiling faces, or find your own quiet pace... there's lots of space and everyone is welcome.

There's lots to do at the farm! Some frequent tasks we work on are...

We have gloves, shovels, rakes, wheelbarrows, and loppers available for volunteers to use!

We have tasks for all skill and physical ability levels and are happy to work with any challenges or limitations you may have!

** We generally ask all volunteers to arrive at the same start time, however, you can stay for however long you'd like! If you only have an hour to volunteer that's ok too! If you do need to arrive later, you can still register, but please text us at (503) 558-5453 and let us know!

• Water!
• Weather / outdoor appropriate, warm, comfortable clothing and shoes you don't mind getting dirty. In the rainy season, the farm can be muddy, and sometimes it might also rain, so come prepared! Layers are great!
• We recommend closed-toed shoes and long sleeve shirts.
• Gardening gloves (though we have plenty at the farm if you don't have any!)
• Knee pads for kneeling if needed (we have a few of these at the farm as well!)
• A snack if you'd like!
• Yourself, a family member, a friend! :-)

Lower Wahoo Natural Area Planting Event Date: Friday, March 6th 2026 Time: 9am-12pm

Location: Lower Wahoo Natural Area

Address: 7040 SE 122nd Dr, Portland, OR 97236

Join Kindness Farm staff and Portland Parks & Recreation in planting native plants in this quiet natural area. Upper Wahoo is part of the larger Wahoo Creek Natural Area. Tucked between Johnson Creek and Willamette National Cemetery in East Portland, this area plays a critical role in urban health and wildlife connectivity in the Johnson Creek Watershed. Having a diversity of native plants supports a variety of insects and wildlife and helps provide clean air and water in our city. Accessibility: This event may require standing or squatting/kneeling for long periods of time, walking over uneven ground, bending and lifting heavy objects. Portable bathrooms are available for this event.

Step into magic.
