This mountain bike trail system has something for everyone – green, blue and black — all served up with scenic views of the Columbia River Gorge. If you haven’t yet explored this system, now’s the time!

As always, Northwest Trail Alliance will be leading out three groups of riders: Co-ed Beginner, Women’s Intermediate and Co-ed intermediate. Grab your bike and get yer trail on!

SATURDAY, SEPT 5 — Registration and more information HERE.

Fun times on the trails! Ride the ultra-scenic Cascade Locks network with Team RCB and Northwest Trail Alliance!

This social MTB series is one of our most popular events and open to a wide range of experience. Come ride, make new ride friends, and enjoy some post-shred grill-time!

Ride Groups:

• Co-ed Beginner (riders should be comfortable on their bikes and have previously ridden trails)

• Co-ed Intermediate

• Women-led Intermediate (see Women-led event posting for these tickets)

In this field-based class, you’ll learn how to “tune in” and interpret what birds are saying—not just to each other, but about predators, food, and you.

Birds are some of the most alert creatures in the natural world—always tuned in to the goings-on around them. Their calls and movements form a rich communication network that reveals what’s happening in the landscape.

Join local naturalist and educator Rey Snyder (they/them) at Whitaker Ponds in NE Portland to explore how bird behavior can offer clues to the hidden stories unfolding around us. After a brief introduction to Bird Language basics, you’ll head to a quiet sit spot to observe for 40 minutes, then we’ll come back together to share our findings and map what we noticed.

This experience blends naturalist skills, mindfulness, and storytelling. Whether you’re new to birding or a seasoned nature lover, you’ll come away with tools to deepen your connection to place, sharpen your awareness, and notice wildlife in a whole new way.

You’ll practice:

-Reading bird vocalizations and behaviors

-Using maps and journaling to track patterns

-Moving quietly and with awareness

-Strengthening intuition and observation skills

-Understanding ecological relationships through birds

Come curious—this is a skill our ancestors relied on, and one that can still bring us closer to the living world around us.

Forest Therapy at Bird Alliance of Oregon Wildlife Sanctuary

Enhance your wellbeing! Join Andrea Kreiner, a certified nature and forest therapy guide, for a slow and mindful sensory journey to connect with nature at the Bird Alliance of Oregon Wildlife Sanctuary.

Forest Therapy is the practice of spending time in the forest to enhance one’s health, wellness, and happiness. Research has shown that spending time in nature reduces stress, can boost the immune system, and restores mental energy. 

During the short walk, you will receive a series of invitations to help slow down, engage your senses, release stress, and be more present as you connect with the natural world and experience the restorative qualities of nature.

Guide - Andrea Kreiner

Andrea has had a lifelong connection to the Earth and the natural world. She comes to forest therapy guiding after a 30-year career in climate change and sustainability, working with governments and businesses worldwide. Now, she gets to blend her facilitation, strategic planning, and team-building skills with her joy in sharing the forest with participants on her walks.

Andrea wrote her first poem after being inspired by the rocky coast in Maine as an 11-year-old and now enjoys composing poems in partnership with trees. She loves spending time in the forest; on any given day, you will find her walking her dog, wandering, running, or sitting along the forest trails by her home. When she is not in the forest, she is busy with her husband and five children (four human, one canine) or working on her second cookbook.

K9 Conservationists: Dogs Helping Wolf Research

In the 1960s, biologists introduced wolves to Coronation Island in Alaska after deer overran it and decimated the forest understory. The wolves ate all the deer and, with nothing left to eat, starved. About 50 years later, the wolves of Pleasant Island Alaska found themselves in a similar situation: living on an island in the Pacific with no deer left to eat. The wolves of Pleasant Island, however, have not died out. Instead, they’ve broadened their palate to include sea otters. 

What scientists don’t know is how widespread this surf-and-turf phenomenon is. How does the complex web of wolf, deer, sea otter, hundreds of islands and a massive logging industry interact?

In 2024, a rescued border collie named Barley joined the investigation. Employed with K9 Conservationists, Barley is a professional scat detection dog with three field seasons under his belt. With the “understudy” dogs Tooma, Niffler, and Skipper, they have located over 1,500 wolf scats across 25 islands. Back at OSU, Kayla Fratt works to extract the DNA of the wolves and their prey from the fecal samples. She then uses cutting-edge genetic techniques, lasers shot from airplanes, and an awful lot of math to tell the story of the Tongass National Forest through the bum of a wolf. 

Bonus ending: This talk will conclude with a live demonstration from one of Kayla’s trained conservation detection dogs in the theater!!

More information about this and other events, as well as registration HERE.

Kayla Fratt is a PhD student at Oregon State University and a co-founder of K9 Conservationists. She has dedicated her life to training rescue dogs to help conservation biologists. Her research in Alaska is funded by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and her PhD studies are funded in part by the National Science Foundation.

Join the Science on Tap team for “The Counting of Crows”

There is no animal we’re more aware of having as neighbors as the American Crow. Loud, ubiquitous, and immediately recognizable, most Portlanders will see crows every day. And yet, there are few animals as mysterious and captivating.

• If I feed crows, will they bring me shiny presents?

• Why are crows so intelligent, and what do they do with those big brains?

• Why, if we look outside at dawn and dusk, do we see vast numbers of them all flying in the same direction?

• Why do they tear out the grass in our lawns?

• Why do they bring bits of food and wash it in our bird baths?

• Why do they dive bomb some people?

• Do they really remember human faces? And hold funerals for their fallen? 

In this wide-ranging exploration of the exceedingly common, and unique, American Crow, we’ll learn what makes them so fascinating and mysterious, and try to answer some of these questions along the way. 

Learn more about this event and others, including tickets HERE.

Brodie Cass Talbott works at Bird Alliance of Oregon, where he has been educating both adults and kids about birds since 2018. He leads birdwatching tours near and far, teaches classes on bird ecology and identification, and works to engage the growing birdwatching community in the conservation work that Bird Alliance of Oregon has been doing since 1902. 

This show is a repeat of an April 2026 showing in Portland.
