My name is Zeratha Young and I am a graduate student through Goddard College’s ‘Socially Responsible Business and Sustainable Communities’ program. My area of focus is whole systems design and participatory sustainable development. Currently I am working on a thesis project which will result in a participatory public ecological art restoration installation’. The installation itself will serve as a visual, interactive, educational, restoration focused whole systems map of the Portland area bioregion including components of social, natural and economic systems and capital. It is titled: Art as a Transformative Environmental Education Process: A Participatory Community and Systems Based Approach to Place Based Ecological Art Installations and Restorations.”
NeighborWoods Stewards receive free education from local arboriculture experts on such topics as tree identification, tree biology, proper tree care, Vancouver tree regulations, tree planting, natural area restoration, nursery tree production and the benefits of trees. After the training, the NeighborWoods Stewards will be equipped to take on the task of spreading accurate information about trees to their own neighborhoods. NeighborWoods Stewards volunteer to conduct a tree planting or tree-related education project in exchange for the training and education they receive. The Urban Forestry staff will offer guidance and assistance throughout the project.
One of the newest and best of the Washington Gorge hikes, this loop is a botanical wonder in April. Meadows, lush woods, views and a wealth of spring wildflowers on a weed-free route make this a must-hike. Hike will be about 5 miles; moderate with some difficult footing.
