Trail Accessibility:We hope to hold this class inside at Portland Audubon but with the ever-changing nature of COVID we may need to hold the class outside. If the class is held outside, it will be in the Portland Audubon nursery area which is across the street from the Nature Store and main building. It will require a walk of about 400 meters up a moderate hill. It is a dirt trail and the ground below the tables and chairs is not even.
