On Saturday, 5/25, our spring cohort took their final adventure of the season, visiting the Clackamas River. We hiked along the banks of the river and saw osprey, salamanders and herons. This spring we collaborated with James John SUN School and went trips to beautiful parks around Oregon and SW Washington. We visited the Guy Talbot State Park, Silver Falls, The Oregon Coast, The Ape Caves, and Milo McIver state park. All in all 36 students and volunteers have gone on Passport Oregon trips this year and we are excited about how the reach of our program is expanding! If you want to join us as a volunteer for our summer cohort email outreach@ptande.org. Trips will be starting in late June and running through August! Here are a few photos from our trips this spring:
