In late September 2018, we closed the office for a day and everyone headed out to Sellwood Park to provide community service with Portland Parks and Recreation. Some of us worked on beach cleanup while others focused on invasive plant removal, pulling up weeds, ivy, and Himalayan blackberry vines. We have been working in Sellwood Park for several years now, and it is wonderful to see the way the park has changed over time. As usual, we enjoyed journeying by boat to and from Sellwood Park’s Riverplace Marina on a 1967 Kenner Suwanee.
