Oil spill from an oil train next to Cathedral Park. Hazmat putting catchment system in the river after the attempted clean up. Workers couldn’t say why there was a spill

Photo today at Cathedral Park Fishing Dock of the oil buoys used to prevent oil spills from getting into the river. With our last rain they detached and floated to the dock. You can see how they are made. And that they don’t hold up too well

Good morning
Today at 1:00 Ecumenical Ministries, along with the Superfund Collaborative is hosting “River Lament” on the bluffs at the University of Portland.” This reflective walk with stations is a unique opportunity to stand in solidarity with the river that runs through us.

I was at Cathedral Park and saw all the ducks from the river were following this man around. He has been cleaning up the park as a volunteer for 21 years. He also fed the ducks who happily follow him around. He is a metal man, he told me and he goes to church in Linnton every Sunday. He told me how people don’t like people from Mexico but here he is everyday picking up the park. He was an inspiration and I loved watching his devoted duck family. Thank you for all you do to keep the park clean⭐️

Great old photo of Guilds Lake in which you can see the wetlands and flooding. Also a great place for fish and other wildlife. Now an Industrial Sanctuary

Wonderful display at the BEAM Learning Hub. Michael Pouncil and I were happy to teach the students about the lower Willamette this summer. Their tri-fold boards demonstrated all they learned. Check it on the corner of Cleveland and Mason. Loved having some of the BRC portraits as guests during the Block Party.
