Healing Initiatives
Ancestral Abundance is a planning project in partnership with the City’s Portland Clean Energy Fund (PCEF) to support the development of a community healing garden and workforce training program. The initiative focuses on neighborhoods where Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities are most affected by social and economic trauma, and incorporates regenerative agriculture practices to capture carbon, improve air quality, and rewild our urban landscape.
