Here\, she leads the stewardship of the 80 acres of mixed coniferous forest\, creeks\, wetlands\, and grassland prairie at their youth residential treatment program site. This program serves highly traumatized adjudicated male youth as an alternative to incarceration\, providing one-on-one and group therapy\, drug and alcohol counseling\, an on-site school and personalized treatment plans to build the skills they will need to go back into the community. As part of her role\, Ameyalli engages these youth in the outdoors\, partners with Indigenous community members and organizations\, and collaborates with environmental organizations and agencies. The combined effort and community engagement in this program work towards the ultimate goal to restore the land to be a culturally and ecologically functioning site by centering traditional ecological and cultural knowledge. \nBy leading restoration through an Indigenous stewardship lens\, prioritizing traditional ecological knowledge and service to the local Indigenous communities\, the Cultural Ecology Program demonstrates a dedication to Indigenous peoples beyond land acknowledgment statements. \nThis land site will provide Indigenous people a safe place to gather natural resources such as first foods\, medicines\, and basketry materials\, connect with the land\, and engage in environmental stewardship. Such opportunities are unfortunately limited as people are either restricted from gathering or don’t know if it is safe from waste\, pollution\, and chemicals. This is especially true for those living in the Portland metro area and other urban communities with limited access to natural areas. Through its priorities and approach\, this program works towards simultaneously addressing trauma held in the youth\, the Indigenous community\, and the land. \nJoin us to help restore this incredible space! We will be planting native plants\, protecting young plants\, removing invasives and doing trail maintenance\, depending on the day.  \nTime: 10am-1pm \nLocation: 22518 S Parrott Creek Rd\, Oregon City\, OR 97045 \nBring: All-weather gear\, long pants\, sturdy shoes (rubber boots recommended but hiking boots ok)\, rain gear\, sunglasses\, water\, snacks (some snacks provided). \nWeather forecast: NOAA Weather Oregon City. We will cancel the event if the weather is expected to be below 35 degrees OR very rainy. \nParking: Weekend events: Once inside the main entrance\, turn left and down the hill to park in the large parking lot. Look for Bark signs. \nWeekday events: Due to ongoing construction\, please park along the side of the road leading up to the entrance. You must wear a safety vest and hard hat while walking across the construction site to where we will be working. If you’re late\, please contact Meg to have someone meet you at the entrance with a vest and hardhat. \nAccessibility: Events will be light rain or shine! However\, if there is heavy rain or temperatures are below 35 degrees\, we will postpone or cancel the day. \nThis event will be focused on removing invasive plants! Invasive removal days will be a 4-5/5 accessibility with bending\, squatting\, digging large roots (often blackberry)\, handling thorny plants\, carrying materials.
