Outdoor Excursions
In Portland, several local parks have reduced or eliminated their use of pesticides. For example Lair Hill Park (SW 2nd & Woods), Sewallcrest Park (SE 31st & Market) and Arbor Lodge Park (N. Bryant & Delaware) have all been recently designated pesticide free parks! Other Portland parks use integrated pest management to minimize the use of pesticides and make it easy to identify when they are using a pesticide.
In Eugene,
five neighborhood parks from five of Eugene’s six park districts were
selected for a one year pesticide free park pilot program. The parks
selected are Awbrey Park, Berkeley Park, Scobert Gardens Park, Shadow Wood Park, and Gilbert Park.
