Hike Together: Fitton Green Natural Area and Mulkey Ridge Trail
The Hike Together series of hikes is a fun way to explore local trails and natural areas and build community with people coming together through both the Corvallis Multicultural Literacy Center and Greenbelt Land Trust.
We will hike in Fitton Green County Natural Area along the Allen Throop Loop and Mulkey Ridge trails. This is a moderate hike of about 3 miles with some moderate elevation up and down on gravel and dirt trails. It is mostly in the full sun and features panoramic vistas and a view of Marys Peak, wildflowers, and big trees.
Please dress for the weather and bring a water bottle that you can take with you. Plan to arrive at 8:45pm for the van to depart CMLC at 9 am and be back by 12 noon.

Cooking in Brasil: Pão de Queijo
Together we will bake pão de queijo, a traditional Brazilian cheese bread, popularly enjoyed in the morning with coffee. We will go through each step of making the breads, fill them with goiabada (guava paste), learn about their history, and eat them together! The main ingredient is tapioca flour (cassava), so this pastry is naturally gluten-free. Recipe also contains dairy and eggs.
