Portland Audubon Supports the Portland HydroParks Ballot Measure 26-219

Portland Audubon strongly endorses the Portland HydroParks Ballot Measure 26-219 which will appear on the November 2020 Ballot. This measure which was referred to the voters by the Portland City Council allows the Portland Water Bureau to use its properties, outside the protected Bull Run Watershed, for secondary uses such as parks, community gardens, playgrounds, play fields and natural resource restoration.
