5th Annual Arbor Day Celebration

Join the Friends of Gladstone Nature Park for the 5th Annual Gladstone Arbor Day Celebration on Saturday, April 25, in the Gladstone Nature Park from 10:00am – 2:00pm. The Gladstone Nature Park is located at 18111 Webster Road in Gladstone.

This annual event is FREE and family-friendly. It features a native plant sale, food, live music, art, nature walks, arts and crafts for kids, electronics recycling, a tree-climbing demonstration, and live animals.

This year’s celebration opens with a special tree planting ceremony at 10:00am. The Gladstone Nature Park is the recipient of a rare Hiroshima Ginkgo tree, that will be planted to commemorate 75 years of peace with Japan.

Vendors and nonprofits are encouraged to sign up using the vendor application form, located HERE. We are asking for a $10 donation to cover our event costs. Or, alternatively, we would appreciate your contribution of an item for our raffle.

New Trees in the Nature Park

The Friends of Gladstone Nature Park have added new trees in the Nature Park.
Why did the Gladstone Nature Park need new trees?
Newly planted trees will provide a privacy buffer between the meadow and the new construction next door.

The Clackamas Review recently did a feature story on the new trees and the Gladstone Nature Park.

Check out the newly planted native trees in the Nature Park.
These trees were generously sponsored by those listed below,
and are dedicated to the enjoyment of the Gladstone community.
