We learn about two organizations that are preserving the Northwest’s green spaces for public enjoyment. Then we'll hear from a group of farmers that are using their agricultural resources to fight hunger in Oregon. First we will speak to Ted Gilbert and Jocelyn Gaudi of Gateway Green, Portland’s newest park. Next we'll get a short report from producer Barb Seaman on Cape Horn Conservancy. This group of volunteers is dedicated to preserving, enhancing and promoting the Cape Horn Trail, one of the best hiking routes in the Columbia River Gorge. Finally we will speak with John Burt, the executive director of Farmers Ending Hunger, an organization that aims to increase access to high quality food among hungry local communities through a partnership between farmers, food processors and the Oregon Food Bank.
