Audubon Society of Portland: Marmot Cabin on the Joe Miller Wildlife Sanctuary

Experience an unforgettable overnighter at our rustic cabin in the foothills of Mt. Hood, Groups will meet our Naturalists at the "Marmot Cabin" (near Sandy) and have the site to themselves as they explore a remote Wildlife Sanctuary. Children will seek out signs of Beaver, Deer and Elk as they venture through the lush vegetation of a pristine riparian zone. Students learn to read animal sign, identify plants and interpret the landscape, honing their own naturalist skills along the way. After dinner, students will venture into the darkness in search of bats and owls (weather permitting), and return for an educational program on these nocturnal creatures. In the morning, children will get to learn even more about our native animals via a hands-on study of pelts, skulls and specimens. We will design a program that builds, expands and enhances your environmental curriculum. This is sure to be an experience your students will talk about all year!
