Baltimore Woods’ 7-acre meadow is blooming with an assortment of native wildflowers that can easily be viewed from the gravel path through the corridor.
Walkers can start a stroll on N. Decatur at N. Baltimore, or at N. Decatur at N. Catlin. Or for a shorter walk, you can enter the meadow directly at N. St. Johns Alley from N. Edison. Another option is to enter at N. Reno and N. Decatur and walk south toward Cathedral Park to enjoy views of the St. Johns Bridge (See map below).

The Friends of Baltimore Woods and their partners at Portland Parks and the Bureau of Environmental Services have planted many of the native wildflowers although some are volunteers. The meadows are being restored for the benefit of ground nesting birds and pollinators. Both are experiencing declining numbers due to a loss of habitat. The Friends ask that walkers stay on the path to allow birds enough undisturbed space for ground-nesting.
