Join your NAMI friends for an Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge hike! Saturday December 26, 2015 from 2:00 - 5:00 PM The 160 acre Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge supports a diverse population of birds and other wildlife. We will hike counter clockwise around the wetland; keeping a close look out for herons, eagles, osprey, and waterfowl (bring binoculars if you have them). Along the way we will pass the nation’s largest hand painted building mural which, a 55,000 square foot wetland scene, that adorns the west side of the Portland Memorial Mausoleum. We will take a short break on the banks of the Willamette River before making our way back along the Willamette Trail. This will be an easy 2 mile loop hike on good trails with a pace to match the most leisurely team member. On site parking is available and Tri-Met Service is available from bus routes 19 and 33. NAMI is the National Alliance on Mental Illness; we are the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization. The NAMI Multnomah hiking group offers an opportunity to actively promote community mental health while enjoying good company and the wonders of nature. Contact hike leader Paul D Underwood with questions or to RSVP 503-577-9386 or
