9AM – Noon

Hi everyone,

Due to the significant rainfall Tulsa received over the past 36 hours, we’re postponing our Chandler Park trail work day. The trails are too saturated for safe or sustainable work, and we want to honor Leave No Trace principles by avoiding any unnecessary damage.

We’ll announce a new date soon once conditions improve!

Thank you for your flexibility and for caring about Tulsa’s trails and green spaces. We couldn’t do this without you!

See you on the next work day,

The Tulsa Urban Wilderness Coalition Team

Meet at the West Parking Lot in front of the Community Center

Join us for Monarch Media Monday 2025 at Gathering Place!

This event will help close out the Monarchs on the Mountain celebration. 

This year we will be joined by Oklahoma Department of Transportation, staff biologists, Vonceil Harmon and Kaitlyn Taylor for a discussion on all the incredible work their team has made transforming our state highway right-of-ways with pollinator friendly landscapes. This discussion will revolve around the history of the program, and the impact investing in these spaces has made!

This event is free to join. There will be a pollinator social hour beforehand with snacks and a cash bar starting at 6 PM and the discussion will start at 7pm. 

Located at the Williams Lodge at Gathering Place.
