The Big Country: The Willamette Valley as a Park

Thursday, July 31, 2014 at 6:00pm to 7:00pm

Portland Art Museum 1219 SW Park Ave., Portland, OR 97205

Force of Nature: Portland’s Parks, Past, Present and Future


On the Horizon: The Willamette Valley as a Park

Retiring Baby Boomers desiring outdoor recreation, foodies and wine connoisseurs coming for the comestibles, climate refugees fleeing soaring Southwest temperatures—the population of the Willamette Valley is near certain to soar. Can we welcome the hordes without losing what we treasure about the valley? Four visionary thinkers ponder the possibilities: award-winning regional planner John Fregonese; urban naturalist Mike Houck; Mark Davison, Metro’s parks and natural areas manager; and Charles Goodrich, director of the Spring Creek Project for Ideas, Nature, and the Written Word at OSU.

 

This event is part of the "Force of Nature" conversation series and is hosted by Randy Gragg, director of the John Yeon Center and editor-at-large for Portland Monthly.

Presented by the Portland Art Museum and the University of Oregon’s John Yeon Center.

Organized in conjunction with The Art of the Louvre's Tuileries Garden, on view at the Portland Art Museum from June 14 - September 21, 2014.

Cost: Portland Art Museum Members free; non-members $20, seniors and students $17. Advance ticket purchase recommended.
