A detailed list of digitized items can be found in the Digitized Video database, the Oral History and Audio Recordings database, a collection’s finding aid and A/V inventory spreadsheet.

    GREENSPACE PORTLAND CITY OF PORTLAND The City of Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) Bureau manages most of the protected natural areas within the city limits. Other large natural area sites include Metro’s Smith and Bybee Lakes Wildlife Area and Oregon State Parks’ Tryon Creek State Natural Area. Additional natural areas are held by Portland’s Bureau of Environmental Services (BES), organizations such the Port of Portland, Three Rivers Land Conservancy and private neighborhood associations. Natural area settings in Portland include forests, meadows, wetlands, streams and riverbanks. The 7,000 acres currently managed by PP&R as natural area are primarily forest (85 percent) and represent the range of forest types naturally occurring in the region including upland Douglas fir stands, ash and cottonwood riparian forests, and younger deciduous forest types. Open woodlands, such as those dominated by Oregon white oak, account for another eight percent of the system. Shrublands and grasslands, including wetland marshes and scrubs, and upland sites occur less frequently but offer unique habitat features. Land Acquisition Program Property acquisitions for park purposes are made possible through a variety of resources. In some cases, funds are obtained for purchase of a specific piece of property through grants or special one-time allocations from City Council. Previous bond measures have also provided resources for park acquisition. However, the Park System Development Charge (SDC) is currently the primary funding source to meet the need created by growth for acquisition of land for future parks and recreation facilities. These funds can also be used for development. SDC funds are generated by a one-time fee that is charged to new residential development at the time the building permit is issued.
