Connecting Green: Wild in the City Field Trips
Connecting Green is all about access to nature in the city. Connecting Green field trips will introduce you to some of the region’s most scenic and wildlife rich natural areas and parks and get to know the ever growing regional trails network. This fall and winter Mike Houck will lead a series of walks along the Springwater on the Willamette Trail from downtown to Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge and strolls around the 160-acre refuge.
For all kayaking and bicycling trips you need to bring your own equipment. Helmets are life jackets are required for all rides and paddles. Directions will be emailed to all registrants. Trip participants will be limited in number so sign up early.
