The Partnership
The West Willamette Restoration Partnership (WWRP) is a coalition of engaged volunteers, community groups, landowners and organizations working to conserve and enhance the forests and natural areas of SW Portland. Our Partnership supports habitat enhancement and stewardship efforts in southwest Portland’s Willamette River subwatersheds to provide a key link in the wildlife corridor connecting Forest Park and Tryon Creek State Natural Area.
Partnership meetings have been essential to the success of WWRP. These meetings have been an important channel for sharing information across organizations and throughout the corridor. Additionally, they allow open communication between WWRP partners so as to maintain relationships, support collaboration, and identify priorities for the corridor.
