Headstone tending at a Metro cemetery.
Join Metro at Multnomah Park Cemetery to care for the resting places of the people buried at this greenspace along Portland’s 82nd Avenue. You’ll have the opportunity to learn and share about headstone symbols and what they represent through a brief tour of the site. Participants can clear around and clean headstones of their choice, connecting with and honoring those resting in the graves and building community with other volunteers. Metro provides all supplies, gloves and tools, along with snacks, tea and coffee will be provided.

Pet policy: To protect plants, wildlife and people, Metro does not allow pets at most regional parks and natural areas. Pets can damage sensitive habitat and threaten wildlife the region has worked to protect. In natural areas where dogs are not allowed, people see more wildlife and get closer to it. Seeing-eye dogs or other service animals are allowed. Please bring cleanup materials.
