We have two green streets in the month of September. Green Streets is a partnership between the City of Portland and our local Surfrider chapter that aims to keep our streets clean and our local bioswales healthy. Bioswales are those
cool mini wetland garden thingies cut into the edge of many streets in town. They filter storm water and allow it to trickle back down into our aquifers instead of washing into drains and eventually our local waterways. This innovative way of managing storm water is turning heads internationally, with officials from around the county and around the globe coming to Portland to see how this system is helping preserve our local watershed.
Upcoming Green Streets
Green Streets North on Tuesday Sept 16 -6:00 pm
Green Streets East on Tuesday Sept 23 - 6:00 pm
