A Call for Urban Greening

Last updated on: June 28, 2014 at 9:41 am   By Lupa Greenwolf

A while back, I read this article on a community who came together to green a formerly filthy, crime-ridden alley in an impoverished neighborhood.

The effects have been pretty dramatic. Apart from... Read more

Saving Our Water

Last updated on: September 10, 2013 at 9:50 am   By Lupa Greenwolf

Not too long ago, I watched a brief video created by our local public broadcasting station featuring footage of the Bull Run watershed. Nestled in the lower slopes of Mt. Hood and surrounding regions, this watershed provides Portland and other local communities with our superbly clean tap water. It’s closed to the public to protect the land and water from pollution, so few people have actually seen what’s in this vast, fenced-off area. Oregon Public Broadcasting got a rare opportunity... Read more
