Green Walks

Walk through the best and most interesting of Portland's parklands and learn about history, landscaping, wildlife, and current issues from parks staff and volunteers. Every Saturday from April 1st through November 6th, a park will be featured. Hoyt Arboretum walks—leaving from the Visitor Center at 4000 SW Fairview Blvd—are always held on the first Saturday of the month. Portland's Heritage Trees will be the focus of walks once a month. All walks begin at 10 AM.

Information is available at www.PortlandParks.org (after March 15th) or by calling Parks Environmental Education at 503-823-3601.
