Green Lents
$25,000
Green Lents will install drought-resistant and pollinator-friendly native plants and rain gardens designed with flood resistance on curb strips. Site preparations will be contracted with 1855 Plants, a local BIPOC landscaping company, with the plantings implemented by volunteers, and multilingual outreach conducted by staff and volunteers. This project will provide volunteers, youth interns, and residents with skill-building opportunities for site maintenance and monitoring, and connect youth interns with partners’ watershed conservation projects in SE Portland, specifically in Lents, where a large portion of the residents are within the Johnson Creek 100 Year Floodplain.
