Join us for Tree School Field Day on Saturday, October 23rd.
Clackamas Soil and Water Conservation District is happy to be participating in the second annual Tree School Field Day at the Hopkins Demonstration Forest in Oregon City! The day will include a schedule of field classes and learning opportunities throughout the demonstration forest for students to choose from. The wide variety of forest types and demonstrations at the 140 acres of Hopkins provides diverse learning opportunities for woodland owners, caretakers, and enthusiasts.
