St. Johns Focus: No Ivy Day at Baltimore Woods (age 16+) *Hands On*
Come out to St. Johns' Baltimore Woods for a fun morning workout in the ivy!
Friends of Baltimore Woods hosts No Ivy Day as part of their efforts to preserve the woods not only for bicyclists, pedestrians and wildlife, but as an outdoor classroom for local schools. With views of Forest Park and the working harbor, the woods are perfectly situated as a learning laboratory to study watershed health at the intersection of urban and wild, residential and industrial ecosystems.
The work area for the day is on recently-acquired public property adjacent to Cathedral Park and it really needs some love; so come help us get it ready to be a healthier place for people and wildlife!
We'll provide gloves, tools, training and snacks. Meet us at the intersection of N Decatur St and N Alta Ave -- bring yourselves, a water bottle, and dress for the weather.
Baltimore Woods is a green fringe of oak and maple trees towering over the neighborhood north of Cathedral Park, anchoring the Willamette bluff, standing as a buffer between riverside industry and downtown St. Johns residents, and providing shelter to native plants and animals. Friends of Baltimore Woods (FOBW) formed in 1998 as a group of neighbors who set out to protect this mature canopy cover between North Baltimore and Catlin streets from increasing pressure of development in the neighborhood.
