Portland Parks & Recreation is excited to partner with Birdhers to host this planting event at Kelly Butte Natural Area. Birdhers is a bird watching club for womin, Trans, and non-binary people to build community by walking together, being present in nature, observing the flora and fauna, and sharing knowledge and curiosity about the world around us. For more information about this group and learn about their offerings, check out the Birdhers website!
