May 12: Gateway Green Tree "Map-It"

From Friends of Gateway Green:


"Please help Friends of Gateway Green spread the word for "MAP-IT", our tree inventory event that will take place NEXT SATURDAY, May 12 from 9 am - 12 pm.  In order to inform future trail development, we are documenting the existing significant trees so we know what to work around.  We will have all equipment available (GPS, measuring tape, clipboards) so we invite tree mappers (no experience required!) to join and help us in our effort!  Participants will become familiarized with the site and help us to account for and understand existing conditions of the trees.

"To get there, walk north toward Rocky Butte from the Gateway Transit Center on the I-205 Multi Use Path.
  • If you take MAX, the red, blue and green lines run directly to Gateway. Several bus lines run to Gateway as well.
  • Pedestrian and bicycle access is available from the northern and southern edges via the I-205 multi-use path.  In the City of Maywood Park, to the north, a pedestrian and bicycle bridge over I-205 takes you to the Gateway Green site. From the Gateway Transit Center at the south end, the multi-use path takes you over the I-84 freeway, under the Halsey Street underpass, and onto the Gateway Green site.
  • If you drive, you can park free at the Gateway Transit Center parking structure, the Green Line Main Street Park ‘n Ride to the south, or the Yellow Line Parkrose/Sumner Park ‘n Ride to the north.  It is important that you do not park in business parking lots or on the surrounding residential streets.
"As always, we will have coffee and light refreshments!  If you have any questions, please e-mail cary.watters@pdx.edu or call at 503.358.8325.  Thanks!"
