What your teeth can tell you about your health
The condition of your teeth can tell you many things about your health.

And, the older we get, the more important it becomes to be aware of the clues our mouths can present about our health. Read more...

Member Tips, Tools & Press Releases
City of Gresham - Urban Forestry Subcommittee - Winter and Early Spring Pruning
Winter and early spring pruning is less stressful on trees and less likely to attract fungi or insects that may carry diseases. Pruning weak or damaged limbs helps trees survive winter storms. Ask arborists to prune so an attractive and healthy tree canopy can be achieved.

Visitors Center
Mt. Hood and the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area
 
Mt. Hood and the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area are unquestionably two of the most beautiful places on earth. But it's for more than just looking. The area demands to be hiked, biked, paddled, sailed, fished and skied. Its bounty needs to be tasted, its history investigated, its culture and art appreciated, its natural wonders explored. You can't spend a day here and claim to know it. But give it a week and you'll get a month's worth of adventure.
