Depave’s first DEPAVE ever! By all accounts, it was an awesome day! Frogs with jackhammers, asphalt art, 147 volunteers representing four continents, two Portland City Council Candidates, lots of laughter, music, celebration, pizza, donuts, and lots of earth liberated from the stranglehold of asphalt.
This beautiful community food forest is cared for by the Urban Farm Collective and the Oregon Sustainable Agriculture Land Trust.
