Environmental Education FROM CRADLE TO CAREER

By: Chrissy Larson (a.k.a. Teacher Balsam) Coordinator for Environmental Education – City Nature & Kelly Rosteck (a.k.a. Teacher Slug) Teen Coordinator for Environmental Education – City Nature Third-grade students from a North Portland elementary class were recently on a field trip in Forest Park learning about local plants, watersheds and erosion. Along the trail the staff found an oak leaf with a gall still attached to it. After a quick explanation of how an insect lays an egg and the leaf modifies to grow around it until it chews its way out as an adult, one of the girls exclaimed, “Wait! What??? It grows inside this house and then chews out of it?!? Oh my gosh!” and then turns behind her and yells, “Mom! Listen to this!!!!” Education about PP&R’s natural areas brings ecology to life through relevant and meaningful, hands-on experiences. Programs are facilitated by highly trained naturalists that make an educational goal of combining exploration and inquiry with wonder and connection. Whether our staff is working with children barely two-years old or young adults approaching the end of their college career, we find that nature offers a universal experience – spaces beg to be investigated, colors and textures beg to be noticed, questions beg to be asked. We agree fully with David Sobel, who wrote: “If we want children to flourish, to become truly empowered, let us allow them to love the earth before we ask them to save it.” At Portland Parks Environmental Education we begin this empowerment at a young age when a sense of curiosity and wonder are at their peak. We teach children and their grownups how to explore with simple tools and give practical tips and techniques for keeping children engaged in a natural space. We get excited about puddles and worms and spider webs. We take the time to run down hills and hide under “umbrella trees.” The wonder of nature is our focus, and we make time to discover all the different places we can find it.

"Thanks to GRUNT, I was able to learn about a variety of environmental careers and had the opportunity to explore a few different jobs with Portland Parks & Recreation.” - 2009 Graduate

As children get older we can bring them into the forest for longer and longer periods of time. We can spend two hours on the trail with students and their teachers learning about the plants and animals. We can spend a whole week with a group of campers, giving them the time and space to play games and explore and be creative with all of nature’s loose parts. Ideas are shared, creativity is executed and relationships are built.

As youth grow into complex, discerning teen-agers, Environmental Education starts the process of turning basic curiosity and exploration into focused science education and turning relationship building into life-long friendships and deliberate long-term mentoring. We empower teens with job skills and prepare them for the real world. We demonstrate love of our natural areas through work and stewardship. Eventually, these teens grow into adults who then turn around and give back. Some bring restoration and new trails to our parks. Some protect our forests from invasive plants. Some bring the wonder and curiosity back to our youngest nature participants. Become part of our education and career pipeline – we offer programs for very young children, preschoolers, elementary students and teens! For more information about PP&R Environmental Education, contact Chrissy Larson or Kelly Rosteck at the EE Office (503-823-3601) or by emailing Chrissy.Larson@portlandoregon.gov or Kelly.Rosteck@portlandoregon.gov.

GRUNT Can Be The Beginning of Your Career! Since 2008, the Greenspaces Restoration & Urban Naturalist Team (GRUNT) has inspired more than 200 young adults to enjoy and protect our parks and natural areas. Out of those 200, Fifty-eight have gone on to work in the natural resources field. GRUNT is a volunteer naturalist and job skills program that leads to paid work and long-term career counseling. Our goal is to diversify the environmental field by getting urban teens interested in nature. We provide opportunities to develop professional habits and work experiences they will need to be successful. We begin with a volunteer naturalist training program, then build on skills and knowledge with paid summer work and school-year internships. All graduates are eligible for ongoing access to resources, including resume help, career support, and networking for jobs within PP&R.

“The GRUNT program opened up several opportunities for me as far as friends, careers and consciousness of the world around me.” - 2008 graduate

Should you be a part of GRUNT 2015? We are looking for hard-working 10th grade students who are interested in learning about nature to join GRUNT 2015! Graduates are guaranteed paid summer work. Choose from Nature Day Camp or the Youth Conservation Crew! APPLY NOW! www.portlandoregon.gov/parks/grunt Applications are due February 28.

OUR MOTIVATION... Research shows that the top two experiences that motivate people to care about the Earth are: • time spent in nature as a child. • a meaningful adult who helped teach them about the Earth.

"Through GRUNT, we gained more knowledge about nature and also learned leadership, communication and public speaking skills. Thanks to GRUNT, we received numerous job opportunities that contribute back to the community.” - 2010 graduates

SW Neighborhoods Parks and Community Centers Committee By Leonard Gard, Program Manager, SWNI New city tree code implemented on January 2nd SWNI is holding a tree code workshop on November 18, from 6 to 8 pm, in the Multnomah Arts Center auditorium, 7688 SW Capitol Hwy. The workshop’s purpose is to teach about the new city tree code (Title 11 of the city code) that comes into effect on January 2, 2015 and accompanying programmatic changes. The workshop is free. Whether you are a property owner, or in the business of cutting or pruning trees, or someone who loves trees, this is an event you should attend. The new tree code was adopted in 2011 but a lack of money to implement it caused the delay this coming January The new tree code is much needed. Navigating the city’s bureaus and code for tree-related issues is daunting. Code language is scattered around in several chapters—called titles—in the city code. In part because several bureaus have jurisdiction over trees, people with tree issues are sometime unsure whom to call in the city. Urban Forestry, part of the Parks Bureau, has jurisdiction over heritage trees and trees in parks and public rights-of-way, and in limited situations, private trees. The Bureau of Development Services (BDS) has jurisdiction when the trees are impacted by development, like a new land division. The Bureau of Environmental Services (BES) has jurisdiction over trees preserved pursuant to the Stormwater Management Manual. The reforms in the new tree code are both procedural and substantive. Here is a summary of key elements from a city handout: • A single point of contact at the city for people with tree related issues or questions. This is good—people too often now are calling around trying to find the right bureau for their issue.

The implementation will be unique because it will create a partnership between BDS and Urban Forestry. Staffers from the two departments have meetings regularly. The budget will pay for at least 5.5 positions: • An associate planner in the Land Use Services division of BDS will do the review of tree regulations. The majority of the regulations will be in the new Title 11, but some regulations will be in Title 33, the zoning code. • Two technicians at Urban Forestry. They will be in take inquiries from the public. • 2.5 tree inspectors at BDS. They will be certified arborists and will work on both development and non-development cases. On the development cases, tree inspectors will work in cooperation with building inspectors. The new code will get rid of the provision in the current code that exempts from regulation a residential property that is not dividable and is occupied by a single family homes. SWNI is proud to have played a role in the adoption of the new tree code. Concern about a loss of trees in southwest Portland was growing, and in response the Southwest Tree Committee was formed and began meeting in March of 2005. Core members included SWNI Land Use Committee chair John Gibbon, Margot Barnett, and Greg Schifsky. Others who attended meetings and contributed were Rich Adelman, Neil Blatner, Micki Carrier, Jayne Cronlund, Tim Cushing, Lillie Fitzpatrick, Steve Mullinax, Susan Murray, and Victor Von Salza. The committee’s work resulted in an October 2005 report calling for reforms that went to the city.

• Consolidation of tree rules in the Title 11 code. • A website with information regarding tree care, rules, best practices, and permits. • Improved tree preservation. • New tree density standards to maintain tree canopy on development sites. • Better protection for trees on property lines, on sites adjacent to construction sites. • Consistent treatment for trees in sensitive environmental resource areas. • A streamlined and standardized tree permit system.

Multnomah Arts Center Michael Walsh, the Executive Director of the Multnomah Arts Center (MAC), was a recent guest at a Parks Committee meeting. If you’re not acquainted yet with MAC, you should do so soon. It’s a facility of Portland Parks & Recreation, and it’s an absolute community treasure in Multnomah Village just off the intersection of SW 31st and Capitol Highway. Pick up the catalog that lists all the classes and events. There are classes (for both adults and children) for just about every possible art medium: clay, wood, drawing and painting, pottery, textiles, metal, photography, dance, theater, music, lithography, basketry. There is an art gallery. There are theater performances. There was a recent literary arts reading. If you have children from age 2 through age 4, look into the Little Artists Preschool. The MAC phone number is 503-823 ARTS (2787).

Comprehensive plan update State law requires all cities and counties in Oregon to have comprehensive plans to address future growth and development. Portland’s current plan—adopted in 1980 and amended several times—is out-of-date. So Portland is writing a new plan that is expected to serve Portland until 2035. In July, the city’s Bureau of planning & Sustainability issued its proposed draft comprehensive plan. The Planning & Sustainability Commission (PSC) held four hearings on the draft plan from September "Seagull" by through November. Portland Parks & Recreation representatives are at the table in the discussions Frank Prudy in with other city bureaus and will be working on the final plan with PSC. Then the PSC will issue its the front lawn own recommended plan that will go to the Portland City Council. The Parks Committee has been following the development of the 2035 comprehensive plan because there are parks-related issues in of MAC. the plan. Comments from the public are more than welcome either directly to PP&R staff or to the SWNI Parks Committee. Chapter 3 addresses urban habitat corridors. Chapter 7 addresses habitat connectivity and the urban forest. And chapter 8 addresses parks and recreation. So the committee will continue to follow parksrelated issues as the comprehensive planning proceeds. Parks Committee meetings The committee is one of the standing committees of Southwest Neighborhoods, Inc., a nonprofit corporation that serves seventeen neighborhood associations in southwest Portland. The committee meets every first Thursday of the month, usually at the Multnomah Arts Center. The public is always invited to attend. For more information, call Leonard at 503-823-4592. And subscribe to SWNI’s monthly newspaper, the SW Neighborhood News, by calling or visiting the website, www.swni.org. It’s free.

TIPS TO GETTING STARTED ON A HEALTH JOURNEY

Ben Davis on Active.com

SHARE YOUR GOALS. The people that love you and care about you are going to be thrilled when you tell them about your decisions. Don't do this journey alone. You're going to need a support system to help you through, to talk to when things get

YOU ARE HERE

difficult, and even to work out with you when you don't want to do it alone.

GET INVOLVED. Get involved in something official. Whether it be a running club, a master's swim class, a regular yoga class, or anything that will help you meet people with the same goals and dreams. Getting involved will also help you to keep coming back. It gives you an obligation and accountability system that is crucial to

your success. Rather than just going out each day and saying, "Well, what should I do today?," you will start to make your lifestyle change part of your everyday routine--which is the ultimate goal.

FIND SOMETHING THAT WORKS FOR YOU. Do you despise running? Then don't. Do you hate staying in one place? Don't use the elliptical. You have to want to keep coming back, so do something you can enjoy.

KEEP STATS. Don't just rely on the scales to show you how far you've come. Write down how long it took you to run your first mile, your first 5K, etc. If it has a number, and you are looking to improve it, record it somehow.

SET (REALISTIC) GOALS, AND KEEP THEM SHORT-TERM. If you go into this thinking, "I have to lose 200 pounds. Let's get started," you will be overwhelmed and your chances of failing will skyrocket. Break it down into small increments, maybe 10 or 15 pounds at a time. You're more likely to stick with 10 pounds in two months than 200 pounds over two years.

BE PREPARED FOR FAILURE. You aren't going to be perfect. There are going to be many times when you eat way too much pizza at the football party or skip four workouts in a row. The crucial thing here is to anticipate these moments, move on from them, and put yourself back on the wagon. A few missed workouts will not erase your hard work and a few thousand extra calories will not put the pounds back on. It's easy to feel sorry for yourself and give up, but don't. You don't want to go back to the beginning.

START THE TRANSFORMATION TO A NEW YOU! Linda

Coming soon: A short term program with real results.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve set the TARGET, now let the fitness professionals at Southwest Community Center help you gain the tools that will catapult you towards a bullseye! Keep an eye out for Linda and more information on how you can hit your TARGET with SWCC in 2015!

HOLLY HOWARD

how are you able to relate to people experiencing health challenges?

& fitness

I was an overweight teen who never wanted to do anything active. The idea of sweating never excited me. When I was 18 I weighed 220 pounds. At that time I realized I needed to make some major life changes or that number would keep going up. It was tough at first, learning to challenge my body, but over time I began to love sweating and was able to see what my body was capable of. We all need to move no matter what size, age, or shape we are in. I love sharing what motivates me and being able to get people to move. this year, i will________

This year I will continue to appreciate my body and what it does for me. If we treat ourselves right our bodies reward us with the ability to help in every aspect of daily life. I want to continue to feel strong from the inside out and continue to share my knowledge and motivation with my peers and community.

GAIL NELSON

how are you able to relate to people experiencing health challenges?

& fitness

Regarding the issue of “not enough time,” I can definitely relate. Before I became a trainer and got paid to exercise, I was a mom with two small kids, and it was a struggle to find the time. During those years I was part of what I called the “early morning crowd” – at times I’d be here at 5:15 a.m. when the center opened. At other times I’d attend the 6 a.m. class that I now teach (Morning Blast). Some days I didn’t make it at all and that was OK because I was doing the best I could and “something was better than nothing.” what are your personal fitness goals?

I believe that achieving and maintaining health/ wellness/fitness is a life-long journey. My goals are to continue on my journey of staying healthy, active and strong. I want to continue to strive for a balanced life of fitness, good healthy food, friends/family, faith, rest/relaxation, and laughter!

JOHN CUNNINGHAM

how are you able to relate to people experiencing health challenges?

& fitness

Being overweight, and generally unhealthy for a number of years, I know the challenge of getting up and making a commitment to make a change. I have also experienced my share of injuries and understand just how difficult it can be to work through those times while maintaining your health, but as long as you can move, you can improve! No matter what challenges you face, it is better to move in a positive direction than to do nothing. what are your personal fitness goals?

In the last year I have struggled with an injury that prevented me from running, which is what I enjoy the most. My goal was to maintain my cardiorespiratory fitness, while continuing to adhere to my PT’s prescribed treatment for rehabilitation. I have been successful in both areas and now have set a goal to begin running again, avoiding injury, so that I will be in shape to run my 4th marathon next year and qualify for the Boston Marathon.

how are you able to relate to people experiencing health challenges?

& fitness

I have had my own: overweight, mental/physical road blocks, unforeseen injuries, post-surgery rehabilitation. It's not easy, BUT that doesn't mean it has to be painful, boring or out of reach! And I'm here to attest Health and Fitness challenges DO have silver linings! what would your workout routine look like if you were stranded on a deserted island?

Sunrise & soak up shine with a light stretch. Midday get salty, feel inner strength by combing the land, gather/build shelter and climb tropical trees for coconuts. By late afternoon, take a moment of time for R&R. Sit back underneath a breezy tree and sink tired feet in the soft sand and gaze at the sparkling water. Upon evening, last wind of the day, unwind with a gentle swim underneath the moon and stars.

MAYA RHINEWINE

what would your workout routine look like if you were stranded on a deserted island?

My "desert island" workout would involve lots of excellent and effective bodyweight exercises, high intensity speed intervals and plyometrics, squats, lunges, tree stump step-ups, pushup variations, triceps dips, ballet plies and multi-planar leg lifts, balance challenges, kickboxing punch and kick drills, and lots of Pilates mat flow sequences. All of this while practicing full deep breath and core control. this year, i will________ Take the time and effort necessary to identify and cultivate my passions. I can be as lazy as the next person and let life wash by--which can be pleasant and necessary at timesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;at the expense of truly following (sometimes difficult) roads which offer rich rewards if carefully navigated.

Eagle Point

A VISION REALIZED By Earl Straley, Park Maintenance Supervisor, Southwest

Commissioner Nick Fish addresses the crowd.

Saturday, September 27 was the Opening Social for the recently acquired Eagle Point property as part of the SW Terwilliger Parkway. Commissioner Nick Fish, Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) Director Mike AbbatĂŠ, and Historian/ Architect Author William Hawkins III gave small speeches to welcome the 50 or so people attending. Eagle Point is located at 4099 SW Lowell Lane, south of the Veterans Affairs hospital on the east side of SW Terwilliger Blvd. First identified in the 1904 Olmsted report to the Parks Board, Terwilliger was the only Parkway in the extensive plan to be purchased and maintained by the City as originally designed. The Eagle point site in particular was noted as an important location in the Terwilliger Parkway Corridor Plan that Portland City Council adopted in 1983, stating â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Parks Bureau shall work with the neighboring property owners to re-acquire a portion of the right-of-way vacated in 1963 and improve the viewpoint for pedestrians and bicyclists."

Photography credit: Holly A. Zimmerman

Over 30 years later that vision has been realized, thanks to Mayor Hales, who made SDC funds (fees on development) available for the purchase after the Friends of Terwilliger first made the bureau aware the property was for sale in the summer of 2012. The Trust for Public Lands helped broker the deal, and now site-stabilization work by PP&R crews is mostly complete after removing the old building that was there. The public is invited to enjoy the views during regular park hours.

LAP SWIM (Lap Pool): We will make every attempt to have 1-2 lap lanes available, at all times, for adult lap swimmers. Up to 6 lap lanes will be available at designated times, call 503-823-2840 for a complete schedule of lap lanes available during operating hours. PAC (Portland Aquatic Club): Mon-Fri 4pm-5:30pm PIL: Mon-Fri 7:30pm-9:00pm (Nov. 17-Feb. 20) Jesuit: Mon-Fri 2:45pm-4pm (Nov. 17-Feb. 13) LAP SWIM ETIQUETTE: “Circle Swimming” is necessary when more than two people are in a lane. Lane lines divide lap lanes. Think of the lane as a highway, always stay on the right hand side. Like a highway lap lanes may become crowded, at these times “circle swimming” is a necessity. Lap lanes are designated according to a swimmer’s speed: slow, medium, and fast. Look at the yellow markers at the end of the pool to find your appropriate lane.

Water Workouts Exercising in the water cushions the impact, reducing stress on the joints while supporting the muscles and promoting more efficient toning. Twelve times more resistant than air, water allows triple strength gains over land aerobics! In addition, heart rates are lower in the water, allowing for optimal fat burning and less fatigue. Check out our shallow or deep-water classes, and enjoy the benefits!
