If you haven’t walked up to Eagle Point in awhile, or if you don’t know where it is…....
Have we got something to show you.
Next time you’re traveling in Terwilliger Parkway, and especially if you’re having thoughtful moments in the Walpole Garden, please give a shout out to our board member Bob Bonner. He’s an inspiration to all of us! Here’s his nomination for PGE Parks Champion.
Meta Sequoia Trees (aka Dawn Redwoods or the fossil tree) were once thought extinct until living trees were discovered in inner China in the early1940’s.
The seeds were collected and shared with arboretums all over the globe, including ours right here in Portland. You’ll recognize these dawn redwoods on either side of Mt Hood in the background of this photo. They’re deciduous, so don’t panic if they loose their needles in the fall. Thanks to Doug Weir for the photo!

The Walpole Garden, a collaboration with our partners at Portland Parks and Recreation, is named after the noted American botanical illustrator Frederick Andrews Walpole who built a house at Eagle Point (300 ft to the north of the garden) in 1895. We are gradually planting many of the native plants he illustrated for the US Botanical Garden before his untimely death of typhoid in 1905.
Friends of Terwilliger received several calls/emails last month from concerned users of the Parkway regarding the many trees cut down uphill towards the OHSU campus.
