Join the Russell Neighborhood Association and Portland Parks & Recreation for No Ivy Day at John Luby Park.  This 11-acre park has an impressive urban Douglas fir canopy that keeps summers cool and winters interesting. Come join us for a fun filled morning. At this event you will learn more about why invasive species are harmful, while specifically learning how to identify and remove invasive English Ivy.
