WRI’s Cities4Forests Initiative and BEF supported a field tour in the North and South Santiams in Oregon to identify funding and finance strategies to support restoration for areas impacted by wildfires.
United Way of the Mid-Valley is awarding a $250,000 grant to the Detroit Lake Foundation to provide funds to build a community center. Detroit s city hall was destroyed in the Lionshead Fire in September.
The community center will be built at 345 Santiam Avenue, the site of the former Detroit High School. The school was demolished 10 years ago, but the gym is still standing and will be incorporated into the design.
“This gift is part of a transformational effort to rebuild our beloved city that will be loved by generations to come,” Detroit Lake Foundation president Chris Tardiff said in a statement.
