A long-term project to establish a native plant demonstration garden, based upon Frederick Walpole’s illustrations of Oregon Native Plants, is about to begin in Historic Terwilliger Parkway on either side of the SW Bancroft St right-of-way.
Students and coaches from Central Catholic High School gave a few hours of their time to help us clear some ivy near Duniway Track.
A big Thank You to Portland Running Company’s Race Team for coming out the help us rid Duniway Track of some of that darn ivy. Here’s the “gang” below.

It’s been a long time coming, but Terwilliger Parkway has finally been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1985 the Portland Park Bureau hired a consultant to prepare nominations to the National Historic Register for several older city parks. But then they never submitted them to the National Park Service for listing. Now FOT has completed the task!
