Last Thursday, Confluence members and staff got together for the final team meeting of the term!

July's meeting was planned and facilitated by our current member, Allie, who hosted everyone at the PCC Sylvania Learning Garden. They shared different techniques for environmental education, gave a tour of the garden, led the group in a cordage making workshop using natural materials, and taught some basics in animal tracking.

For lunch, we celebrated closing out the term with homemade pizza baked in the pizza oven located in the garden!

For June's team meeting the other week, current member Alexis led our cohort in a full day of learning at !

We identified native shrubs and trees, learned about the urban tree canopy in Portland, and had meaningful discussions about accessibility in nature spaces. In the afternoon, a volunteer from Hoyt Arboretum led us through a tree tour where we learned about deciduous trees and the history of the arboretum. What a wonderful way to spend the day!

Once a month Confluence members get together for a day-long adventure in personal and professional development. Team Meetings are planned and facilitated by an AmeriCorps member, giving them an opportunity to practice facilitation, planning, budgeting and education skills.
