Friends of Errol Heights, REI, and other community members will be working to perform much-needed trail work at Errol Heights Natural Area! Discover this little gem of a park, which hosts a cold-water stream, interesting history and (often) mallard ducks 

in the pond. We’ll be gravelling sections of the trail and otherwise improving the trail through the natural area. Please wear long pants and sturdy walking shoes, and bring warm clothes, raingear, a hat and a water bottle. Tools, gloves, treats and hydration will be provided.

Meet at: SE 45th & SE Tenino Dr., Portland OR 97206. Tri-met bus #75.

For more information or to RSVP (required), contact Stewardship Coordinator Susan Hawes at: susan.hawes@portlandoregon.gov or (503) 823-5937.
