They improve our watersheds by capturing water on leaves and drawing water into roots. And they are beautiful. Trees are in trouble in Portland.

The Friends of Ross Island, Portland Audubon Society, Willamette Riverkeeper, the Urban Greenspaces Institute, and Greenworks will present 2 years of planning for the restoration and stewardship of Ross Island at an Open House at the Discovery Center. Taste Salmon Safe certified wines from Argyle Winery, Ponzi Vineyards, and Lange Winery; enjoy food from local organic caterer Phresh. Come and add your voice and ideas to the mix.
