Notes from Wisdom’s Executive Director
Hello everyone,
I hope you all are enjoying the beautiful fall season colors! This is certainly my favorite time of year. For one, I get excited to bake and get ready for the holidays.
Perhaps you have seen the wonderful award our LLC Restoration and Conservation Crew have won this year: Bill Naito Community Trees Award for Outstanding Community Service. We are so happy to have this designation and thank the City and Portland Parks & Recreation for the acknowledgement. Thank you.
We are just so grateful for our LCC Crew and all the hard work and dedication they put forth every day!
I would also like to say that we have made some wonderful strides this year. It is because of all of you who engage with us and support our mission.
