family friendly

Join us on these nature adventures as we explore the wildlife in our local parks.  We'll search for clues that animals have left behind and get up close looks at treasures from our naturalist's backpack that may include skulls, pelts, pellets or even scat!  Each Knee High Naturalist Hike meets at a different site.  It's a great way to get outside with your preschool child, meet other families, and learn about the natural world.  Only one registration per family is necessary.  Suitable for ages 2-5 years. Advanced registration required; call 503/629-6350.  $8 per session, in-district.  An assessment fee will be charged for out-of-district patrons.

Visit our Native Plant Sale where you'll be able to choose from a wide variety of native trees, shrubs, and perennials. Friends of the Tualatin Hills Nature Park sponsor this event with proceeds going toward future park improvements and environmental education programs. Come by the Nature Park Interpretive Center in the weeks before the plant sale to pick up trilliums and other early blooming wildflowers.

Browse our resource fair to talk with community partners about the benefits of native plants for wildlife, water conservation, pesticide reduction and how you can hlep!

This is our first event along the I-205 Multi-Use Path this season -- please join us! Please arrive around 8:45am to allow time for a short walk to the planting area and to be registered and assigned to a crew. The planting will start promptly at 9:00am. We provide breakfast snacks and hot chocolate/coffee, as well as gloves, tools and guidance. Please come dressed for the weather and wearing sturdy shoes and get ready to have fun!

We will be planting a few replacement trees and re-mulching previously planted trees. We are very excited to continue reforesting the transportation corridor that runs from the Columbia River in the North to the City of Gladstone in the south.

Metro, ODOT, BES and EMSWCD are partnering with Friends of Trees to increase livability, habitat and air quality along the I-205 corridor.

RSVPs are not required. Please contact Andy or Jenny at (503) 595-0213 if you have any questions or need more information. We look forward to seeing you out there!
