  • What to See in Portland Update2009
    What to see in Portland, OR - by Marco Behrmann 07/02/2004 1/3 WHAT TO SEE IN PORTLAND , OR _________________________________________ Listed below you will find a couple of sights and my personal favourites to do in Portland. Since Portland was my town of exchange I do not know as many things about the other cities like Eugene, Corvallis, Ashland or La Grande. However, it would be just great if somebody could add tips about their places similar to the ones here, too! Please feel free to forward them to me (marcobehrmann[at]web.de ). I do not want you to believe that just because I stayed in Portland, and have many tips here for Portland, that a year at one of the other Oregon cities is not the same exciting. The tips listed here, however, are interesting for all Baden-Wuerttemberg students in Oregon, because many things you can already see and experience during your orientation weeks. (BTW: This is almost everything I did (among other things, of course) within my 2 ½ weeks of re-visiting in June 2004; but it took me a year of living in the city in 2001/02 to figure out which were the hot tips ☺) Here are my personal Must-Sees Oregon History Center in SW Park blocks right south of PSU (This museum features very interesting and well researched exhibitions about the development of Portland as a city as well as about the whole Pacific Northwest as it was discovered from the sea and the Columbia River; good place to check out during your orientation weeks; you get a student reduction with ISIC or other student ID card) Council Crest Park (considered the highest spot in Portland; nice views to Mt Hood, Mt Adams, Mt St Helens and even Mt Rainier on some days as well as to Beaverton; take Bus 51 [Vista]; the Bus driver often feels himself as an informal Portland guide; tell him that you are visiting and he even might stop for you at nice viewpoints to take pictures.

  • 2020 Spring Zootracks
    ZooTracks IT’S ALL ABOUT YOUR OREGON ZOO Painted Pupdate Donors support keeper’s first visit to Africa All she could manage to say was, “Dog! Dog! Dog!” The driver slammed on the brakes to avoid spooking the pack of African painted dogs lounging near the road in the early morning. The truck was packed with people and gear — solar panels, batteries and supplies for living on the savanna. For days, they had scanned the roadside for tracks, and Beth Foster worried she might return to Oregon without ever seeing the animal that brought her here. After almost 20 years as a keeper, caring primarily for lions and painted dogs, this was the first time she had seen dogs in the wild. Thanks to a grant, generously funded by donors to the Oregon Zoo Foundation, Foster spent two weeks working with Greg Rasmussen at the Painted Dog Research Trust in Zimbabwe, an organization she and the Oregon Zoo have collaborated with for years. The trust’s mission is to save this highly endangered species while training local graduate students in the rigors of conservation and scientific field research. “I'm almost 50,” Foster said. “I've worked with African animals for my whole career, and I hadn't gone to Africa — to finally have that opportunity was amazing!” Foster traveled to the trust’s headquarters near Victoria Falls with longtime ZooGuide volunteer Roger Williams. As soon as they arrived, they were put to work. The two spent their days building a much-needed storage shed, collecting water and doing anything they could to help.

  • Strategic Conservation Management in Oregon's Willamette Valley
    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Strategic Conservation Management in Oregon’s Willamette Valley Surrogate Species Pilot 1.0 The Power of Partnership The Willamette Valley is the fastest growing and most densely populated eco-region in Oregon. Strong public and private partnerships are crucial to meet long-term conservation goals. Numerous partners are engaged in active research, conservation, and monitoring programs to improve the status of priority habitats and species in the Valley. These partnerships, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Oregon Conservation Strategy, and The Nature Conservancy’s Willamette Basin Synthesis Project, provided the foundation for our Strategic Habitat Conservation approach in the Willamette Valley. We thank the partners that have contributed their valuable time and expertise to this effort. We also thank our other partners who are providing important research, conservation, and monitoring expertise in the Valley. Together, our partnerships can enable a level of conservation no single agency, organization, or individual can accomplish alone.

  • Washington Park Celebrates 150 Years with Parkwide, Interactive Experience Discovery Points Connects Visitors to Park’S Many Destinations
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: LeiLani Barney | Marketing Manager [email protected] 509.954.3904 Washington Park Celebrates 150 Years with Parkwide, Interactive Experience Discovery Points Connects Visitors to Park’s Many Destinations PORTLAND, Ore. (June 15, 2021) — Washington Park, owned and managed by Portland Parks & Recreation, celebrates its 150th anniversary by inviting you to explore Portland’s destination park in an entirely new way this summer. Washington Park is marking its sesquicentennial with a parkwide, interactive experience called Discovery Points. It includes featured locations throughout the Park connecting visitors to stories and culture from the past 150 years. From the International Rose Test Garden’s first female curator in a century, and the influence of war in the creation of the Portland Japanese Garden, to how a 60-foot piece of art from Oregon Zoo’s past lives on, and a glimpse of Hoyt Arboretum through the decades – Discovery Points allows visitors to interact with unique stories behind some of the Park’s most well-known destinations. “Washington Park is a community of destinations that have all had a strong influence on the Park’s holistic story,” said Anna Goldrich, Chair of the Explore Washington Park Board of Directors and Executive Director of Hoyt Arboretum Friends, “150 years is an impressive milestone. It’s exciting to welcome visitors this summer to discover how the Park has been connecting people to nature through the years.” The entire experience is in free, public spaces – as well as fully virtual – and is available through fall. It’s also bilingual in English and Spanish.
