How will people be trained to implement the goals of this grant and who will monitor the outcome of their efforts? How will the training prevent the destruction of native plants such as trilliums? Will there be an advisor who has an environmental science background to help with implementation of this grant?

MPHOA and OLWC staff and volunteers have decades of combined experience in habitat enhancement. In order to increase our training and knowledge base we will be participating in an upcoming Resilient Regenerative Firescaping Qualification Training. We will also receive technical support from local Soil and Water Conservation District Staff and City of Lake Oswego staff. OLWC Executive Director also has an Environmental Science background. Work will occur outside of spring, when trillum are at peak bloom. Work crews will receive plant identification training.
