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.
Old Vinyl Sing-Along
Many members of HGP were teens when there were a lot of 45 and 33 rpm records. We spend a Sunday morning listening to some of that music. Dig through your old records and bring one or two. If we have five minutes per record, that will allow us to play about 12 songs.
