Rain Gardens 101: A rain garden is a sunken garden bed that captures stormwater and allows it to soak back into the ground naturally-March 22

9:00am - 1:00pm Columbia Ecovillage, 4647 NE Killingsworth.

The geo-survey is a PSU student-lead effort working with neighborhoods and community organizations.  The goal is to gather input from the public to help identify factors that can help improve active transportation services in your neighborhood.  For example, where would a new sidewalk make your journey to the grocery store a bit more comfortable? Or, where would a new cross-walk or crossing guard make your child's trip to school a bit safer? Listening to the ideas and suggestions from all residents is an important emphasis of the Prioritize Portland! effort.  The goe-survey team will be scheduling visits at neighborhood meetings. More information about the online geo-survey coming this spring!
