Join Liz Saufley for a Treekeepers' Tree Walk at Tigard's Dirksen Nature Park. This 48-acre park offers a mature forest with many trees well over 100 years old, a view of the wetlands, and is home to many wildlife species. This walk will introduce what Dirksen Nature Park has to offer for the community and natural play areas for children. We will be walking about a mile on an unpaved trail and boardwalk at a "botanical pace", meaning we will probably walk slowly and stop often to fully enjoy our surroundings.
