Experience the wonders and wildlife of the Slough up close with this free canoe and birding paddle, hosted in partnership with POC Outdoors. Ryan Gilpin, an arborist by trade, and a bird enthusiast, will be leading us on a birding adventure along the Slough! Council staff will provide the boats, paddles and life-vests—all you need to do is sign up at the link below and show up at Whitaker Ponds Nature Park at the start of the paddle!

Note: We hope to explicitly make space in this paddle for our communities of color. Please only register for this workshop if you identify as Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and/or as a person of color. Similar paddles available to the general public are listed on our events page.
