PGE wants to cut down part of Portland, Oregon's Forest Park.

Cutting down a bunch of mature trees in Forest Park because the corporation doesn't want to spend a little more to go around is wrong and should be stopped.

Submit comments (contact info and talking points below via link) to the Hearings Officer, your City Councilors, AND the Mayor by 9 a.m. on Jan 29th. (If you already submitted comments to the City in late 2024, please submit again)

Comments can be sent via email. Include the Hearings Officer, all 3 City Councilors from your district, and the Mayor as the recipients. If you live outside of the City of Portland, feel free to include the hearings officer, Mayor and any assortment of City Council members.

Public hearing is this Wednesday, 1/29 at 9am, all virtual.

Tell the City to Protect Forest Park from Development Submit Comments now and join us for a livestream of the virtual hearing that may decide the future of PGE's Harborton Reliability Project! On January 29 the City of Portland will hold a virtual hearing to decide whether or not to approve PGE's Harborton Reliability Project. PGE's proposal aims to expand their power grid infrastructure, which would entail developing on top of 4.7 acres of quality habitat in Forest Park. We are deeply troubled by this proposed development in this cherished Park, which is protected by law under the Forest Park Natural Resources Management Plan.
