Join us on the second Wednesday of every month for our public meeting, watch a video dealing with issues surrounding genetic engineering, and learn how you can help promote a safe and sustainable food supply. Public meeting and GE free video night: get involved in protecting our food supply!

The fifth annual No Ivy Day, set for May 5, will bring nearly one thousand volunteers out to break ivy's grip on trees and natural areas.  This coordinated assault on invasive ivy is centered in Portland, the birthplace of the No Ivy League.  However, work parties will be active at locations around the world wherever ivy's wily ways are causing the demise of trees and ither native plants..
Here are great ways that volunteers can help make No Ivy Day #5 a success.
*Remove ivy from trees and the ground at a No Ivy Day work site.
*Be a partner/site coordinator and organize a work party at a public place for posting on the No Ivy League web site.
*Remove ivy on your property -- recruit family, friends, neighbors to help you.
*Help promote No Ivy Day with electronic distribution, posting flyers, and telling folks you know about it.
*Organize a group from three to a hundred-three for volunteering at a site on No Ivy Day: family, friends, and neighbors; co-workers or employees; fraternity, sorority, alum association; service club or social network; or any other group of people.
