Today's event marking the completion of the Foster Floodplain Natural Area brought the community outside on a beautiful day to celebrate the return of salmon in Johnson Creek and a better approach to managing flooding.  Thank you to Amy Fraenkel from the UN Environment Programme and Portland City Commissioner Nick Fish for joining us!
