This is a 3.4-mile hike that will take us through two parks just north of Lake Oswego. Springbrook Park and Iron Mountain Park preserve variable mixed woodlands that include Pacific madrone and Oregon white oak. We will connect the two parks using quiet neighborhood streets. The Iron Mountain Park trails are part of Lake Oswego’s new Iron Heritage Trail, and the area was the site of the Prosser Iron Mine. The trails are mostly flat and easy to walk except the area where we enter Iron Mountain Park, which is a series of narrow switchbacks that head down into a gully where the trail widens again as we begin a slow climb back up.
After the hike, we will have lunch at a local restaurant. Bring an energy snack and water. Good walking shoes or hiking boots are recommended.

As temperatures climb, Portlanders head outside – typically sporting a big grin -because the best season of the year is here. It’s finally summer in Portland!
This year, Clean Energy Works is sponsoring Portland Parks & Recreation's Summer Free For All: Movies in the Park, a beloved Portland tradition, bringing fun, free movies to the whole family. (Bring jackets and extra blankets - it can get chilly when the sun goes down!)
Snag a good spot at Portland parks all summer long for performances by local musicians, free popcorn, and great movies. Stop by the Clean Energy Works table to say hi. And learn how our nonprofit can help keep your home cool and your utility bills down this summer.

The Development Code Improvement Project (DCIP) is a multi-year effort designed to make the development code more usable and ensure it remains current with the needs of the community. The DCIP-8 project is comprised of a diverse group of potential development code amendments that include updates to reflect new rules, a review of design review categories, a new process for requests for reasonable accommodation under the Federal Fair Housing Act, and a determination of which rules are more appropriately located in the Gresham Revised Code.

Join The Movement!
Are you, like Metro Councilor Shirley Craddick, Representative Carla Piluso, and Troutdale Mayor Doug Daoust, willing to be the calalyst for change?
Join us for an open house public forum Thursday June 4th, 5PM-8PM at Sun Rise Center at 189th & E Busnside for happy hour tapas and beverages. Share your support for the Springwater Parks & Community district.
We know parks, green spaces and recreation help us maintain our quality of life while attracting families, industry and top-tier development. Those families and family-wage jobs then spread the wealth in terms of better property values, rejuvenated neighborhoods, lower crime rates, less substance abuse and fewer demands on public services.
This is not a political movement, but a grass-roots one determined to build on what East Multnomah County already has going for it — beautiful vistas and buttes, great schools and engaged citizens who value economic efficiency.
