to enjoy. In so doing, we wish to assist plants in living healthy, happy lives,

Through the use of thick mulches, organic compost & fertilizers, early disease
& pest control, and proper & timely pruning we can eliminate
dependence on chemical fertilizers and sprays. We encourage an organic
approach so that all fruits, herbs, edible flowers, and foliage can be
consumed. Likewise, pets, wildlife, and children are kept safe.

What is the Backyard Habitat Certification Program?
|
|
Audubon Society of Portland, The Columbia Land Trust,
and Environmental Services for the City of Portland have joined
forces to create a new Backyard Habitat Certification Program.
|
|
|
|
This new collaborative effort was designed to provide technical assistance to
small lot, private property owners to restore native wildlife habitat in their
backyards. The program was launched in January 2009 within the City of
Portland. The goals are to assist property owners through three levels of
advanced habitat restoration. The program focuses on the removal of aggressive
weeds, naturescaping with native plants, stormwater management and wildlife
stewardship.

What does this mean?
This is a program run by Environmental Services of the City of Portland
dedicated to a Sustainable Approach to Stormwater Management. When it rains,
stormwater runoff that isn't properly managed can flow over impervious
surfaces picking up pollutants along the way and washing them into rivers and
streams. Stormwater runoff can also cause flooding and erosion, destroy
habitat and contribute to combined sewer overflows (CSOs).
|
|
Stormwater management systems that mimic nature by integrating stormwater into
building and site development can reduce the damaging effects of urbanization
on rivers and streams. Disconnecting the flow from storm sewers and directing
runoff to natural systems like landscaped planters, swales and rain gardens
reduces and filters stormwater runoff.
|
|
Portland has received international attention for its projects and designs in
sustainable stormwater management.
