Upcoming Events
Winter Pruning Workshop at Gabriel Park
Increase the beauty and productivity of your fruit trees with this hands-on pruning class led by the experienced orchardists of Portland Fruit Tree Project. Timely pruning can improve the shape, strength, and fruit set of your trees, while simultaneously helping to reduce pest and disease pressure.
Beginning with a brief introduction to general pruning theory, the class then transitions to working directly with fruit trees, allowing participants the opportunity to practice specific techniques for winter pruning. Our goal is to help you learn how to make the best cuts on your fruit trees with confidence and skill.
Please note:
Priority for these workshops will be given to people who are current PP&R Community Garden participants and people who can commit to volunteering at the Gabriel Community Orchard regularly.
If you are a Community Garden plot holder, please let us know where your plot is in the sign up questions! Per PP&R guidelines, if you are not a plot holder or cannot commit to volunteering for a PP&R community orchard, your spot in this free workshop might be given up.

District 4 Local Transportation Funding Open House
Join the conversation about local transportation funding and weigh in on a variety of options and opportunities at an open house in your district.
Portland is experiencing a transportation funding crisis. PBOT is in its eighth year of budget cuts. Our streets are falling apart, our bridges are aging, and we can't afford to make the safety improvements our communities are asking for. The cost of transportation construction has gone up, and funding hasn't increased to pay for it.
The longer we wait to repair our transportation assets, the more expensive and expansive the problems get.
Portland City Council is talking about how to solve this problem. Come to an open house to learn more – and give us your feedback – about:
the options to raise more money
the kinds of things that the city would spend the money on
ways to review and monitor the spending

Everyone is welcome - you don’t need to be a member of MNA to participate.

Preparedness is about Community, not Catastrophe
We are your Multnomah neighbors who will provide disaster assistance in our community when first responders such as police or fire are not immediately available. We receive training from the Portland Bureau of Emergency Management (PBEM) and the Portland Fire & Rescue (PF&R). We are the Multnomah Neighborhood Emergency Team – Multnomah NET.
Our Team meetings are open to anyone who lives or works in the Multnomah Neighborhood and wishes to learn more about emergency preparedness, Multnomah NET, BEECN, and our activities.
Multnomah NET meetings are held at the SW Community Center at 7:00pm on the third Tuesday of the month. Join us to learn more!

Winter Pruning Workshop at Gabriel Park
Increase the beauty and productivity of your fruit trees with this hands-on pruning class led by the experienced orchardists of Portland Fruit Tree Project. Timely pruning can improve the shape, strength, and fruit set of your trees, while simultaneously helping to reduce pest and disease pressure.
Beginning with a brief introduction to general pruning theory, the class then transitions to working directly with fruit trees, allowing participants the opportunity to practice specific techniques for winter pruning. Our goal is to help you learn how to make the best cuts on your fruit trees with confidence and skill.
Please note:
Priority for these workshops will be given to people who are current PP&R Community Garden participants and people who can commit to volunteering at the Gabriel Community Orchard regularly.
If you are a Community Garden plot holder, please let us know where your plot is in the sign up questions! Per PP&R guidelines, if you are not a plot holder or cannot commit to volunteering for a PP&R community orchard, your spot in this free workshop might be given up.
