Plankhouse Docents will be on hand to offer mini-tours through the House\, Carty Unit Trail Stewards will be active on the Oaks to Wetlands and Carty Lake trails. We will also have a variety of self-led activities available for visitors over the weekend. \nCathlapotle Plankhouse is open from 12:00 to 4:00 on Saturdays and Sundays. The House remains open though BirdFest 2018 (October 6th and 7th)\, after which it closes to the public until the following spring. \n(IMPORTANT NOTE: The Carty Lake Trail is only accessible through the Refuge currently. The Port of Ridgefield kiosk and gate are not open and you should not enter the RNWR from the Port. Please make sure that you are entering the Carty Lake Trail from the Carty Unit only.) \nWe would like to thank the City of Ridgefield for including the Cathlapotle Plankhouse Season Opening in their May Day – Spring Festival promotions this year. If you have the chance\, hit up all of the amazing activities in town on your way to the Refuge on Saturday\, May 5th. The City continues to be a welcome partner with the Friends is some of the most welcome ways.\nDid you know? Volunteers staff the Cathlapotle Plankhouse during our open season. We could not run this portion of our programming without their extraordinary gifts of sharing this amazing place with others and their amazing dedication to community service. If you would like to be involved as a Plankhouse Docent but missed our Naturalist Training Series\, please contact Juliet McGraw at cathlapotleplankhouse@ridgefieldfriends.org. \n\nThe Plankhouse will be open Saturdays and Sundays through the end of September\, with special events every Second Sunday of the month!

SUMMARY:Cathlapotle Plankhouse Second Sunday- Mother’s Day
DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate Mother’s Day at the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge!\n\n\n(click to view or download)\n\n\nAdmission to Second Sundays is free with Refuge admission. Refuge costs are $3.00 per vehicle\, or you can purchase a yearly pass for $15.00! Pay at the fee station near the trailhead- or if you have a valid lands pass\, fill out the new green card instead of the blue fee envelope.\n\n\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\n\n\nLifeways and Landscapes will be the guiding theme for the 2018 season. Each Second Sunday of the month we will bring to you speakers\, demonstrators\, and other presenters focused on topics that relate to indigenous culture and the rich habitat provided by the Refuge. You can look forward to topics relating to indigenous women’s labor\, ancestors and grandchildren\, seasonality\, ancestral oak stands\, and of course our always popular Traditional Technologies Day.\n\n\n \n\n\nSecond Sundays begin in May and will continue through December. This year we are experimenting with a longer series and have added three additional events to the tail end of our series\, extending it to the end of the year. This is an exciting development in our programming\, as the final three Second Sundays will be held off-Refuge with some of our partner organizations throughout Clark County. Stay tuned for future locations! We hope that you enjoy this additional programming and hope to see you often!
