Description:
Do you and your family love to see the trillium blooming in the spring in our Bridlemile neighborhood parks? To see a family of red-tail hawks soar above the towering firs and hemlocks in our hills? To hear a nighttime chorus of frogs? To know that there are cutthroat trout and clean water in Fanno Creek?
Be part of a continuing tradition of keeping our neighborhood forest and stream habitat healthy! Since 1998, Bridlemile neighbors, led by the Bridlemile Creek Stewards, have removed acres of invasive plants like Himalayan blackberry and English ivy that were destroying our habitat. We planted thousands of native plants, providing shade, food and shelter for birds, mammals and fish. You can see the results in the restoration projects in the wooded areas of Hamilton and Albert Kelly Parks.

Start: 1:00 pm
End: 5:00 pm

Description:
The Front Stoop Project was inspired by the experiences of people recovering from Hurricanes Rita and Katrina, where the front stoops of gutted houses became the gathering places for displaced citizens. It was on these stoops that residents learned who had a chainsaw or a generator or who was in need of essentials and assistance.
