For the past five years, Port Blakely has hosted students from the Molalla River School District. These forest field trips provide hands-on lessons in forest ecology, the importance of trees, and the diverse wildlife that thrives in our working forests.

These immersive learning opportunities play a vital role in Port Blakely’s mission to inspire future generations to care for the land. Since the program began, we have hosted over 100,000 visitors, helping them learn about forests and environmental stewardship.
