Portland Area & Gorge
These groups deal with issues facing the people and places of the Portland Area and the Columbia Gorge.
The greater Portland area is known for and proud of our deep forest walks, quiet canoe coves and flocks of winter migrants.We boast of tasty drinking water, cyclist-friendly streets and successful recycling programs.
Those points of pride don’t happen by accident. Earth Share groups impact much of what keeps Portland a place to thrive. Find out which group is working on a topic that you care deeply about.
