District Breaks Ground for Future Restroom Project
The district was pleased to complete an important first step for the future restroom project at Miller Woods – installation of a new septic system. Local contributions, donations, and district resources financed the project which was installed by Precision Excavating, Inc., a local contractor. The next step is to finalize plans for the restroom building and facilities, and seek support for future construction.
Permanent restrooms are needed at Miller Woods to accommodate property visitors, volunteer groups, schools, and others who frequent Miller Woods for educational events such as Earth Day. If funding can be secured, the district hopes to complete the project in the next 12 months. If you are interested in supporting Miller Woods and the construction of new restroom facilities, please contact the district at (503) 472 – 6403. Thank you for your support!
We would like to sincerely thank the volunteers of Jackson Family Wines for donating their time at Miller Woods. The team came ready to work and were able to perform needed maintenance on a mile of trail, painted the inside and outside of the KT Corral building (pictured left) and stained the outside of the conference center.
District director, Pat FitzGerald, has been elected to serve as president of the Oregon Association of Conservation Districts (OACD). The OACD is a private, non-profit 501(c)(6) statewide membership organization that represents, supports and strengthens Oregon’s 45 Soil and Water Conservation Districts. Pat has been serving as a director for OACD since 2013 and recently fulfilled the role of vice-president. His experience with this organization and his role of director for Yamhill Soil & Water Conservation provides the needed qualifications to successfully lead OACD this coming year and we wish Pat well in his new endeavor.
