Ross Island sits mid-Willamette just south of downtown Portland, and has a history of being built up and exploited by men, but today it is ruled primarily by nature. From Friendly House, Mike Houck, Director of the Urban Greenspaces Institute, will present his vision of how it can serve as one. Mr. Houck has been a leader in urban nature issues since 1980 when he founded the Urban Naturalist Program at the Audubon Society of Portland. He has co-founded Coalition for a Livable Future (CLF); The national Coalition to Restore Urban Waters (CRUW); The Intertwine Alliance; and The Nature of Cities forum.
The Ballad of the Barketts
Most of us know the Barkett brothers as our favorite musicians at HGP, but it turns out they can talk too. In fact, they enjoy telling stories about their musical career, the role music has played in their lives, how they became Humanists, and how all of that intersects.
