When we finalized this event I literally YELPED out loud in excitement.

Aubrey Gordon's work in public health generally, and in fat acceptance specifically has been life changing for so many people. She cohosts the podcast Maintenance Phase with journalist Michael Hobbes. Together, the two debunk and decode wellness and weight loss trends.

Join us at the Milwaukie High Auditorium on Saturday at 2:00pm for a free event with Aubrey! Signed copies of her books, "What We Don't Talk About When We Talk About Fat" and "You Just Need to Lose Weight and 19 Other Myths About Fat People" will be available for purchase.

See you there!

Dakota from the Clackamas River Basin Council will be leading a guided hike through Tickle Creek Trail on Sunday, March 23rd from 10:00am-12:00pm.

The International Day of Forests, established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012, is a day to celebrate and raise awareness about the critical role forests play in our world. Forests are essential for supporting our agriculture and ecosystems by providing homes for pollinators, maintaining healthy soils, retaining water, and regulating temperatures.
