The Yamhill Soil and Water Conservation District (District) met at Miller Woods on August 22 for a ribbon-cutting and official opening of the newly completed bathroom facility.  Larry Ojua, Executive Director, and Barbara Boyer, District Chair, acknowledged Miller Woods volunteers, contractors, District board members and staff, and others for their efforts to plan, design, and construct the new facility.  The District also voiced appreciation to those in the community who have supported the project with donations, volunteerism, and regular patronage of the District’s annual native plant sale, the primary fundraiser that supports Miller Woods.

The new restroom facilities consist of three units, two of which are handicap accessible and have changing tables, along with two outside sinks for hand washing.  The building design included an overhang for rain protection, motion-detection lights, electric hand dryers, heaters, and other typical bathroom fixtures.  The building was designed by architect Marcia Mikesh, and constructed by Brian O’Neil Construction.  Warrior Construction completed the excavation work and installation of utility lines, and McMullen Electric installed the electrical service and fixtures.  Many thanks to all who have been involved in the planning and construction of this project.   Make sure to check out the new facilities the next time you visit Miller Woods.

Miller Woods is owned and operated by the Yamhill Soil and Water Conservation District.
