Come out to Whitaker Ponds Saturday, November 18th to bird and restore native habitat!

Join in a collective act of stewardship with FBC.PDX, Portland Parks & Rec, Güero Bird Club, Seymore Gulls, and soon-to-be-renamed Portland Audubon.

We’ll bird, we’ll plant, we’ll have tea and snacks!
It’s an opportunity to meet each other and give a little something back to a beloved birding gem.

8 am - 9 am Birding
9 am - 11:30 am Planting

Come dressed for the weather and dressed for planting.
It’s going to be delightfully dirty.
No birding experience necessary! No planting experience necessary!
Bring your own binoculars if you have them, we'll have extras if you don't. See you there!
