We provide home and business owners and community groups with free education and techinical information about the advantages and how-to of naturescaping through free workshops.  They are held throughout the tri-county Portland metropolitan region. Workshops outside the District are financially sponsored by local groups and/or jurisdictions (cities, water providers/wastewater agencies, etc.).
