Our mission is to increase community awareness of and connection to places of environmental and social significance in Portland through locally-created maps, enabling residents to make more responsible choices. Every morning Tidepool brings you the latest news about the environment, community, and economic development. It's the news that crosses state and international boundaries and shapes the lives of people living on the Northwest rain forest. Tidepool also brings you original news and commentary every week. The Watershed Management Professional Program of the Executive Leadership Institute at Portland State University offers courses, workshops, research presentations and custom courses and trainings for watershed managers and people interested in, or working in, watershed protection.
Watershed management entails working with people, policies, and processes.
The WMPP is designed to increase competency in management, protection, restoration and administration of watersheds. The Pacific Northwest Pollution Prevention Resource Center is a non-profit organization that is a leading source of high quality, unbiased pollution prevention information in the Northwest. PPRC works collaboratively with business, government, non-government organizations, and other sectors to promote environmental protection through pollution prevention. Our beautiful gardens at the Good Shepherd Center in Seattle's Wallingford district are an inspiring model of organic gardening practices. The gardens are always open, and you are welcome to visit at any time.
