Last year was a journey of both challenges and triumphs for me. Despite facing injuries and spending months in recovery, I'm grateful for the opportunities to share about POCO in various films and exhibitions, including Chad Brown's film *Roots: We Been There*, currently part of an exhibit at the Tillamook Forest Center until September.

I'm looking for ways to be more inclusive in our community, especially for members who face barriers to participating in outdoor activities. That's why I'm excited to announce that we've secured a grant, in collaboration with Bird Alliance Oregon and the Columbia Land Trust, to create backyard habitats for 16 members unable to join outings. We want to bring nature to people that can't often get out - our community elders, families/people with disabilities, large families without reliable transportation, etc.

If you genuinely need this support or wish to get involved as a volunteer gardener, help with landscape design, or will help us with a work party in the fall and spring, please reach out to me. Let's come together to make nature more accessible for everyone.

Email me at pamelas@pdxpocoutdoors for more details on either volunteering or to be considered for a backyard habitat. An RSVP won't get you a spot.
