Join us at Oxbow Regional Park for a morning of storytelling. Participants will hear about the history of Oxbow Regional Park, followed by a panel of storytellers who will speak to the tradition of storytelling. The gathering will be followed by an opportunity to ask questions and a short walk to the river.
This gathering is made available to the public as part of the East Multnomah Soil and Water Conservation District (EMSWCD) and Metro. It is for attendees who identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.
This workshop will be held outdoors and will include walking a fair distance on uneven ground. Please come prepared with appropriate sun protection, and comfortable walking shoes.
