NW Family Daycation

Once upon a Daycation in Oaks Bottom Wetlands in SE Portland, and part of a guided experience in partnership with NW Family Services, a brilliant young man caught the attention of NW Family Daycation with his passion for wildlife photography and natural observation.

We are thrilled to lend to this intrepid young spirit a little corner of our world, and share with you a journal of his adventures in our naturehood.
