Metro events, Nov. 10 to 15: Leaf it to trees

As autumn sweeps through Oregon, daylight dissipates and our deciduous friends brighten up. Enjoy the season with a number of great activities dedicated to trees. Discover autumn after dark with a night hiking class, find out who lives in tall trees, and volunteer to keep Forest Park thriving year-round. Kids will love exploring how trees change color this time of year! Most of the events are low-cost or free, and registration can be completed online. Follow the links below for more information.
