Urban and Community Forestry Workshop - Landscaping for Conservation - Let Nature Work For You
Join Friends of Tryon Creek Education Director Matthew Collins to discover how your garden can function more like the natural system surrounding us. Participants will learn from the ground up - starting with the soil and its complex role supporting plants. Explore native plant options for your garden, which use less water and don't require expensive fertilizers and pesticides. This program is also a great way to learn more about the Backyard Habitat Certification Program, a partnership between the Friends of Tryon Creek, Columbia Land Trust, and Audubon Society of Portland. Notes: This program will take place at the visitor's center at Tryon Creek State Natural Area, 11321 SW Terwilliger Boulevard, Portland. This workshop includes time learning on the trails so be sure to dress for the weather. Enrollment is limited. Register online at www.tryonfriends.org or by calling 503-636-4398.
All workshops are FREE and open to the public with pre-registration.
