Event Description

Nature Walk

The Nature Walk and meditation at Whittaker Ponds, on Sunday June the 8th, at 11:00 am is open to all AMORC members, their family, and close friends of the Rosicrucian Order.

Address: 7040 NE 47th St.  Portland, OR

Basics to bring: a hat, water, wear sturdy shoes and sunscreen/bug spray.  Very nice to have and bring are a pair of binoculars, a bird i.d. book, or you can download the Merlin app onto your phone and it will help you identify birds by both sound and appearance.

Anjala will have a banner so you can recognize her, so we'll meet up near the parking lot at 10:45 am. We will bird and animal watch and walk for about 45 minutes, then stop in the trees near the water for a guided meditation.

Bring a rug scrap, camp chair, or something you can put on the ground. The trail is paved and accessible 3/4 of the way around the Ponds for people who use walkers, but then it becomes dirt with tree roots. This is suitable for older (9 or older) children.  You're likely to see beavers, nutria, kingfishers, ducks, geese, herons, egrets, frogs, turtles, fish, bald eagles, swallows, and surprise bird and animal visitors to the ponds.
