Once in Tualatin, we will explore Tualatin Community Park and we will follow the Tualatin Art Walk, where we will discover many of the city's sculptures and murals.

Pollination Walk

Powell Butte is one of the few remaining grassland and savannah habitats left in the Portland region—which means late springtime offers a fantastic opportunity to study native wildflowers and pollinators! Our Nature Educators will lead discussions about the wonder of pollination and offer tools that encourage hands-on exploration such as hand lenses and take-home bee and butterfly guides. Dress for the weather, wear sturdy shoes, and bring water.

Accessible restrooms are located at the trailhead. Mobility Rating: This program is accessible to mobility devices such as walkers, wheelchairs or scooters. We will be along paved the whole time, though trails will have some incline. Total distance will be up to participants and moving at a slow pace.
