Yesterday, we were excited to welcome cadets from the USCGC Eagle, the U.S. Coast Guard’s iconic tall ship and training vessel, to the Eastern Promenade for a morning of community service!

As part of their basic training, the cadets helped remove invasive Japanese knotweed and clean up litter along the Eastern Prom, making a lasting impact on one of Portland’s most cherished parks. Community service is an important part of their training, reinforcing the Coast Guard’s commitment to service both on and off the water.

Thank you United States Coast Guard Barque EAGLE cadets for your hard work, dedication, and service to our community. We were honored to have you with us! ⚓🌿

Portland’s trees are essential to keeping our city cooler, more resilient, and enhancing community well-being. The City’s urban forest is under increasing pressure from heat, storms, drought, pests, and development.

The City of Portland in partnership with The Portland Parks Conservancy is developing an Urban Forest Management Plan to preserve, grow and care for Portland’s Urban Forest.

Get involved in the process through taking the community survey, learning more about the project and attending an info session or public workshop through the project website.
