Latinos Unidos y Floreciendo (LUYF) is a community‑rooted nonprofit that engages and empowers people by reconnecting them to land, food, and culture. Guided by the belief that unity fuels collective prosperity, we work side‑by‑side with families and partners to create a healthier, more equitable future for all.

Community Harvest Mondays is a weekly volunteer gathering rooted in stewardship, shared labor, and food access. Each Monday, community members join us in the field to support seasonal maintenance and harvest fresh produce for local food distribution.

Volunteers participate in hands-on agricultural work, planting, weeding, harvesting, washing, and packing, while learning how food moves from soil to community. A portion of each harvest supports local food access efforts, helping ensure fresh, culturally relevant produce reaches families in our area. Volunteers are also invited to take home a share of the harvest as appreciation for their time and contribution.

This is an opportunity to build practical skills, connect with the land, and take part in a consistent, meaningful effort to grow and share food with dignity and care.

No prior experience is necessary. All are welcome.

Acerca de Community Harvest Mondays es un evento semanal de voluntariado basado en la administración responsable de la tierra, el trabajo compartido y el acceso a los alimentos. Cada lunes, miembros de la comunidad se reúnen con nosotros en el campo para apoyar las labores de mantenimiento estacional y cosechar productos frescos destinados a la distribución local de alimentos.

Las personas voluntarias participan en actividades agrícolas prácticas, como sembrar, deshierbar, cosechar, lavar y empacar, mientras aprenden cómo los alimentos llegan del suelo a la comunidad. Una parte de cada cosecha apoya iniciativas locales de acceso a los alimentos, ayudando a garantizar que productos frescos y culturalmente relevantes lleguen a las familias de nuestra región. Como muestra de agradecimiento por su tiempo y contribución, las personas voluntarias también están invitadas a llevarse una parte de la cosecha a casa.

Esta es una oportunidad para desarrollar habilidades prácticas, conectarse con la tierra y formar parte de un esfuerzo constante y significativo para cultivar y compartir alimentos con dignidad y cuidado.

Join the WSU Extension Clark County Master Gardener program for an On the Road Tour and leave the driving to us.

This month, we explore how local nurseries and farms strengthen our community through gardening.

1. Our first stop includes a walking tour of the 78th Street Heritage Farm: a sprawling 79 acre property with nearly 150 years of history and a long legacy of farming and agricultural research. Today it serves the community through the Master Gardener program, gardening classes, and support for the Clark County Food Bank.

2. Next, we visit the Mabry Corrections Center Garden, which supports our community by through its corrections work-crew program—offering opportunities for individuals rebuilding their lives—and by donating all production to the Salvation Army food bank to help address food insecurity in our community.

3. Then, just a three-minute drive away, we’ll make a short stop at Clark Public Utilities Operations Center Pollinator Garden where native plant and wildflower gardens reflect a commitment beyond meeting our energy needs.

4. Lunch is on your own at the Fiesta Bonita Mexican Grill & Cantina.

5. Our last stop is Cascade Greenhouse, a family-owned business in operation for over 40 years. Enjoy the variety of plants and serene setting as you learn how they support the broader community—and the close-knit community within their own family business. A shopping opportunity will follow.

Here is what you need to know:

• Bring water. Dress for the weather and wear comfortable sturdy shoes. Bring a walking stick if necessary.

• COST: $35 plus tax and fees

Help to beautify this wonderful patch of native wildflowers through weeding, trimming and holding back the invasive blackberries as they try their best to reclaim this area.

The East County Citizen's Alliance (ECCA) begins their FOURTH YEAR of nurturing a native wildflower patch on Highway 14 that begins near Camas, extending through Washougal as you enter the "Gateway to the Gorge.

Throughout spring and summer 2026, we will be maintaining all 8,000 square feet of these flowers, primarily through selective weeding to give the flowers room to grow. If the summer is extremely hot, we may also water our newest, most tender plot. Throughout the growing season, we'll be keeping the grass trimmed around the flowers and the blackberries on the back of the plots cut back. 

The series of work events continues through the month of May and into June beginning May 23rd, and repeating on June 6th and June 23rd.

Registration required & more info and signups HERE

Thanks for supporting a great partner organization and continuing to keep our roads clean and beautiful.

All this work is why we need you. This beautiful native wildflower project is a whole-community effort. It's not the project of a single group of people, but rather of many community residents who pitch in just once or over and over. So please join us. We look forward to seeing you again or meeting you for the first time!

GENERAL INFORMATION

What we will provide: Tools as necessary, safety overview and safety vests. Please bring work gloves, a hat, and water. Kneeling mats can be helpful, too. If you have a favorite trowel, please bring it along!

Location: The wildflower plots are on the north side of SR-14 between the two roundabouts in Washougal. Volunteers meet at the Pendleton parking lot, located at 2 Pendleton Way in Washougal, and walk or ride over to the site together. 

Paperwork: For your protection, all volunteers must fill out a WSDOT AAH Participant Form. If you haven't done this already, please print, complete, and email to eastcountycitizens@gmail.com. (Feel free to take a photo of your completed form and email that.) If you prefer, you may bring the completed form to your first work event. Teens are welcome if they are at least 15 years old and are supervised by an adult.

To honor the planting of the Northwest's oldest apple tree and the launch of the region's fruit industry, Fort volunteer Richard Wing and talented artist Pamela Gunn have teamed up to publish a lovely illustrated book about the story of the "Old Apple Tree" planted in 1826.

The book recounts the tree's contributions through saplings that grew into orchards that contributed to Washington known as the "Apple State." The community's ongoing efforts at Vancouver help preserve the tree's legacy through - festivals, educational programs and the propagation of her cuttings. Join us to hear this wonderful story of a fruitful legacy that endures today.

Fees: This event is free to attend.

About the Book

For nearly 200 years, PiP grew from a seedling into a celebrated legend, her branches offering shade, sustenance, and a symbol of resilience for generations of families. Her saplings, contributed to the birth of Washington’s now-famous apple industry. The story highlights the community’s ongoing efforts to preserve PiP’s legacy—through festivals, educational programs, and the propagation of her cuttings—ensuring that her story continues to inspire. Today, PiP’s descendants still bear fruit, reminding visitors to Apple Tree Park that heritage and hope can flourish even when transplanted far from home. PiP’s tale stands as a testament to hope, endurance, and the lasting bonds between people and the natural world.

About the Author

He is a volunteer certified interpretive guide at Fort Vancouver National Historic Reserve who shares stories about the history, events, and peoples of the site. Look at things from different points of view and perspectives he visits the reserve on sunny days or in rain or snow.

Join the City of Camas: The ivy here has been cut before, but it is climbing back up the trees and very much in need of another round. As usual, we’ll also encounter English holly and other invasives, as well as trash needing to be picked up (quite a bit here, unfortunately).

Meet at the intersection of NW 10th Avenue and NW Ivy Drive (appropriate name, right?!?) https://maps.app.goo.gl/4RYnC68gkTMswctQ9
We’ll have the canopy and sandwich board sign set up, and safety cones along the curb.

PARKING — There is ample parking all along NW 10th Avenue, though be very careful if you need to cross the street. Please don’t cross Forest Home Road — visibility is not great, and drivers often roll through the stop. Instead, walk on the south side of NW 10th Avenue through that intersection area if you park to the west of our sign-in area. Bonus points for anyone who can walk or bike to the meeting spot. I believe that we had three folks bike to a recent event! :)

This is a spectacular spot to spend a Saturday morning (gorgeous big trees and a creek....) and it truly needs some Ivy League care.

Join the City of Vancouver’s volunteers from our Adopt-A-Park program for a morning of litter cleanup and invasive plant removal.

• Training, gloves, tools, water, and snacks will be provided.

• This opportunity is family-friendly and great for teens. Youth under 18 must bring a signed minor consent form.

• Volunteers should dress for the weather and wear long pants and closed-toe shoes.

Accessibility is important to us and we’ve taken it into account while planning this event. This location is partially wheelchair accessible, and work is primarily done in a quiet natural area with potential for some infrequent loud work sounds. For mulching projects, volunteers may be shoveling, twisting and turning, and pushing wheelbarrows. For invasive removal projects, volunteers may be kneeling, pulling, and twisting as well as possibly lifting plants overhead to load into a dumpster. There will be a space in the RSVP form for you to let us know if there are any accessibility needs you have so that we can do our best to find a volunteer role that will work for you.

Registration will close two days prior to the event at 2 p.m. If registration is closed and you are still interested in attending, please email cityvolunteer@cityofvancouver.us to let us know you will be a walk-up and you can sign in on-site.

Dear Camas Earth Day Society,

We would love your help weeding the native plant garden at Prune Hill Elementary School’s Living Lab this Sunday, May 17, from 9 AM to 11 AM.

Park at 4518 NW 11th Circle, the cul-de-sac just below the playground where the garden is located. The recent rain should make pulling invasive weeds easier and give a healthy boost to our expanding naturescape.

We’ll provide gloves, tools, and guidance to share more about the plants and the wildlife they support. Your support would make a big difference!

Come help pull and remove ivy from Ridgefield’s community park!

Removing invasive English ivy restores habitat for native plants, trees, and wildlife.  Ivy reduces wildlife habitat by at least 80%.  This event is a collaboration between the City of Ridgefield and the Ridgefield Garden Club.

Time: 8:45 AM– Sign-In; 9 AM–noon - Removal

We will have a short demonstration at 9am and then begin ivy removal. Volunteers are welcome to spend as much time at the event as they have available - we'll take all the help we can get!

Age: Volunteers aged 13 and under must be accompanied by an adult.

Parking: Park anywhere in the Abrams Park lot and look for the registration table. 

How to Prepare: Wear clothes that can get dirty and that are appropriate to the weather.  Sturdy shoes/boots strongly recommended.  We will have gloves and tools, though you are welcome to bring your own.  (We really mainly use our hands not tools!)Bring your own water and snacks!  This work is a little strenuous and includes bending, pulling, as well as walking and standing on uneven terrain with possible tripping hazards. 

Questions?  Reach out to the Ridgefield Garden Club: Heather 360-281-8367 or Laura 707-225-5594.

WSU Master Gardener Terrie Phillips will show you how to plant, grow and harvest the most popular herbs that you can enjoy fresh from your own garden. What to do with herbs after harvest will be discussed such as in preserving, storage and easy usage of these flavorful plants.
