We had a wonderful time celebrating community, love, authenticity, and belonging at Pride in the Park with Pride Beaverton this past weekend!🌈

This was Tualatin Soil and Water Conservation District’s first Pride event and we loved seeing all joyful faces from kids to parents, to even furry friends! Alex, Anna, & Trevor connected with over 300+ individuals throughout the day while sharing fun educational posters, pollinator seed mixes, mini sunscreen bottles, infographics, and our beloved biodegradable glitter because who doesn’t want to see more sparkle in the world?✨

We are proud and honored to have attended the event and support the LGTBQIA+ community. Conservation work in our diverse communities can only happen when every person feels seen, valued, and welcomed!🪱🩷

Give genus Fragaria (strawberry) some extra appreciation for all of its many gifts at the upcoming 56th Annual Gales Creek Strawberry Festival on June 13th! We'll see you there for the strawberry shortcake, and to chat all things conservation.

❤More strawberry facts! ❤

There are three commonly seen wild strawberries in Oregon:

☀️Beach/coastal strawberries
🌲Woodland strawberries
🍓Meadow/wild strawberries.

🌟Compared to the giant juicy cultivated strawberries we all know and love these three native berry plants have dainty fruit.

🌟The cultivated strawberry is actually a hybrid of beach and meadow strawberry.

🌟All varieties of strawberries are an important groundcover, pollinator plant, and food!
