Friends of Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge support, protect, and enhance the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge and its wildlife habitat, and to broaden public awareness and participation in its environmental, cultural, and educational opportunities. Ridgefield NWR has a total of 5,150 acres of marshes, grasslands, and woodlands. If you haen't been, you've got to go birding at the refuge!
The Westside Economic Alliance is focused on the needs of the Westside of the Portland metropolitan region, which includes Washington County and western Clackamas County, and the cities of Beaverton, Cornelius, Forest Grove, Hillsboro, Sherwood, Tigard, Tualatin and Wilsonville. The Westside Economic Alliance is a proactive organization that invites private sector employers, non-profit organizations, and real estate developers to sit at the same table as community leaders to shape local public policy. The result is a unique partnership that benefits both the businesses and communities of the Westside.
Friends of Marquam Nature Park is a community-based volunteer organization working in partnership with Portland Parks & Recreation and others to conserve, maintain and enhance the historical, natural, and recreational resources of Marquam Nature Park and to educate the public about the park's unique natural and cultural history.
