Lead in Portland’s Soil

The Environmental Protection Agency awarded the District a Healthy Communities Grant in 2019. We have been busy developing outreach materials, collecting soil and plant tissue samples, and sharing information on how to garden safely in contaminated soils.

Join us on September 21 at 3pm to learn more about the findings of over 120 soil tests from Portland’s West End, Parkside, Bayside, and East Bayside neighborhoods.

This event is free and open to anyone who is interested in learning more about the health of Portland’s soils. Please register here to receive the access link to the live event and recording.
