Join PP&R and Portland Audubon for a BIPOC birding walk in Forest Park celebrating diversity! This birding walk will start at Forest Park’s Holman Lane Trailhead at 9:15am. All participants are welcome at a nearby celebration of community in Forest Park after the walk. We encourage you to come out to Forest Park, a community treasure, to learn, recreate, and celebrate with your community. Sign up for the birding walk here.
PARK & TRANSPORTATION:
Parking, including ADA parking, is very limited in Forest Park. Thanks to a partnership with Montgomery Park, there will be extra parking available; six minutes walk to Lower Macleay. PP&R is providing a shuttle service with a lift from Lower Macleay to the trailheads for this event. Arriving by alternative transportation will help reduce trailhead congestion. You can plan your public transit route using Trimet’s Trip Planner, or check out how to get to Forest Park trailheads via public transportation. We encourage you to carpool or take public transportation.
SHUTTLE:
Activity will have a shuttle running to and from Lower Macleay Park and Leif Erikson Trailhead. Shuttle riders will gather by 9am and leave by 9:15am. After the activity, the shuttles will deliver participants from their respective trailheads to Lower Macleay. Then, after the after party, the shuttles will deliver participants back to Montgomery Park to their vehicles, or people can walk.
ADA-ACCESSIBLITY:
For ADA-accessible transportation, you can access the trailheads using TriMet Lift Paratransit services, or via an accessible taxi service through Portland WAV by visiting their website or by calling 503-865-4928. Thanks to a partnership with Ride Connection and Montgomery Park, PP&R is also providing a shuttle service with a lift from the Montgomery Park building to the Lower Macleay for this event. Please sign up for the shuttle if you would like to use this service. A PP&R staff member will be in touch.
Thank you to Portland Audubon for participating in National Public Lands Day & Forest Park's 75th Anniversary!
