Experience the Children’s Nature Fair, Saturday, May 16 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at Leach Botanical Garden, 6704 S.E. 122nd Ave.
This year’s theme—A-Maze-ing Nature—includes a maze with interactive booths, Audubon education birds, arts and crafts activities, paper making, nature walks, music, 25 cent ice cream and more!

Compost for sale at Sunderland Recycling
Spring garden compost is now available for sale to the public from leaves collected last fall throughout the city.
For this year’s spring compost sale, the city of Portland’s Bureau of Transportation Sunderland Recycling Yard, 9325 N.E. Sunderland Road, will be open Saturday and Sunday, May 16 and 17 from 7 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. as well as its regular weekday hours: Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The cost for each cubic yard, which will typically fit in a small truck bed, is $24.
In addition to making compost available for purchase by the public, compost is used by city crews for plantings and erosion control and is donated to community gardens.
Removing leaves from streets helps reduce slippery road conditions, increasing the safety of motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists. Street leaf removal also reduces street flooding caused by clogged storm drains. Portland’s infrastructure also benefits from the reduced amount of leaves entering the storm drains.
More information about the leaf composting program at Sunderland Recycling Facility can be found at www.portlandoregon.gov/transportation/article/319723.
