River School provides a space for community members to learn, from knowledgeable community members while enjoying one of the few river accessible spots, in North Portland. Situated in a beautiful garden along the river, there will also be special activities for children related to the river. After each river walk, we will have music or spoken word artists, and an opportunity to contribute to this year’s community art project, which is focused on living within our seasonal as we understand the cycles of the river.
Gather at Green Anchors – Please Park at the Cathedral Park Boat Area and look for the gate at the west hedgerow. We will meet in the Village Area – in the gardens overlooking the river.
