Please join Portland Parks & Recreation and the Columbia Slough Watershed Council to plant wildflowers at Wilkes Creek Headwaters.
Did you know there are over 500 different species of bees native to Oregon? Planting native wildflowers helps support pollinators like bees and butterflies and improves habitat for local wildlife.
Please dress for the weather, wear sturdy, waterproof shoes, and bring personal water bottle and snacks. Tools, gloves, project instruction, coffee/tea and light snacks will be provided.
Children are welcome! Any child under 14 years of age needs to be accompanied by an attentive adult. Children over 14 need to have a guardian sign the waiver form available on the registration page.
Registration is required.

There is street parking along NE Fremont and NE 154th. Please do not leave valuables in your car. There is a #21 bus stop at NE Sandy and NE 154th Ave. It is a 0.2 mile walk to the park from there.
