Lower Macleay Trail

Join Birdhers and Portland Parks and Rec for a birding outing in Forest Park and enjoy the Forest & Washington Park FREE SHUTTLE that is running on Fridays and Saturdays through the summer with stops in outer Portland neighborhoods and an Express shuttle loop that circles the park. This is a really great community service that supports getting more people access to the park, the largest urban forest in the states. Get all the shuttle information at www.portland.gov/parks/park-shuttle.

Event Details:
This walk will be co-facilitated by Bo and disability activist, Roxy Allen. The shuttles are ADA equipped and the first .5 mile of the trail are paved and ADA accessible trail. We will move slowly and with intention to observe the world around us. At a half mile in there is a place to sit and observe, we’ll also have the option to continue another ¼ mile to a bridge that overlooks the creek. Total length between 1-1.5 miles. Find all the details of this trail at https://www.portland.gov/parks/trail-lower-macleay

• Meet at the Peninsula Park Community Center at 10:20 (shuttle leaves at 10:30!)

• Or meet at the trail, Lower Macleay at 11 am.  

• The shuttle is a 20 minute ride and will make a return journey to arrive back at PPCC at 1:30.

• This is a free event, no rsvp or registration for walk or shuttle. This is an affinity space for trans, non-binary, and women people to learn together in nature.

fbc.pdx & feministbirdclub

Join Shae (they/them) and others for a relaxed, accessible morning of stationary birding at the beautiful Necanicum Estuary in Seaside, OR.

Look for the pride flag! 🏳️‍🌈This affinity event is for queer, BIPOC, and/or neurodivergent birders looking to connect with birds, nature, and community at a slower pace.

Rather than covering miles of trail, we'll spend our time watching the estuary from an accessible viewing area with options for short journeys nearby, giving us the chance to slow down, notice more, and enjoy shorebirds, waterbirds, raptors, and whatever else the tide brings. Late summer is one of the best times to visit the estuary, with migrating shorebirds moving through the area.

• ✨ No birding experience necessary

• 🦆 Beginners welcome

• 🔭 Loaner binoculars available if you need them

• 💚 Free to attend

RSVP is through Meetup—link & more details (or in our stories). It helps us get a head count, but is never intended to be a barrier. If it's a barrier for you, just show up!

♿✨ACCESSIBILITY:
This outing is designed to be highly accessible.
Mostly stationary with minimal walking required.
Paved pathways and boardwalks.
Mostly flat terrain.
Benches available.
Accessible restroom nearby.
Quiet setting with generally low crowds.
Reliable cell service.
Easy to enjoy from a single viewing location.
