Connect with Nature. Grow in Community.

More-Than-Human is Portland’s hub for local events that celebrate the natural world. Find a class, join a walk, and connect with community.

Our Mission

More than just an event calendar, we hope to be a resource that helps people find connection with the world around them. By bringing together wildlife- and ecology-focused events from across the Portland area and beyond, we aim to inspire curiosity, build community, and celebrate the incredible ecosystems we’re part of.

Connecting with Nature,

Thanks to Our Community

Our city is fortunate to have an abundance of nature-based programs, made possible by the passionate organizations, educators, volunteers, and grant-funded initiatives that provide free and low-cost opportunities to connect with the land. From bird walks and foraging workshops to ecology talks and hands-on craft sessions, these events help people engage with the more-than-human world in meaningful ways. 

More-Than-Human exists to celebrate and support these efforts by bringing them all into one place—making them easier to find, explore, and share. By highlighting the work of local nature educators and organizations, we hope to inspire curiosity, deepen connections with the land, and foster a thriving community of learners and stewards.

 

A Shared Mission

Across our city, nature education programs are working toward a common goal: fostering a deeper connection between people and the land.

Cultivating Curiosity

Through guided experiences like bird walks, foraging workshops, and ecology talks, these programs spark wonder and invite exploration.

Breaking Down Barriers

By offering free and low-cost events, these programs ensure that learning about the natural world is accessible to all.

 

Building Relationships with the Land

More than just education, these experiences encourage a reciprocal connection—where we not only learn from nature but also recognize our place within it.

Empowering a Community of Stewards

Through shared knowledge and hands-on engagement, these programs inspire individuals to care for and protect the ecosystems we all depend on.
