I am actively fighting to save the trees from being cut by Portland Jetport/Portland Diocese and New Leaf Energy. I want to protect the air we breath, the noise the trees buffer and the homes of the wildlife that life here.
Today's photo's I am 100% certain these loads did not come from the new mausoleum site, as the dirt is different in appearance and contains debris.

During the recent BOA meeting, I listened as the Diocese’s legal counsel misrepresented the nature of this access path; first calling it an “old bike path,” and then claiming that the vehicles were “nothing more than a pickup truck.” This is simply not true.

Today is September 20th 2025. This is to note the destruction of trees and the amount of fill that is continued to be brought in. I'm thinking of it as a photo journal for the public to see

BOA meeting July 7th 7pm City Hall.
Here’s what I’m asking:
1) Fines to be greater than what it would have cost to do this the right way.
2) Trees must be replanted along the borders of our properties.
3) The cleared lot at 36 Dawson should not become a road.
4) stop this solar project now!

Just proof of how wet this land is in the spring! Now the trees are gone to suck up any of the extra water 😞

Kids raw and honest way of seeing the world.
Isla (4yrs) “They cut the heart out of all those trees”
Sana (3yrs) " I not know why they cut Sanna's trees."
heartbreak from a child's point of view. When do we lose that?
Adults, get to call it “progress” or “development” numb to what’s actually lost.
