About The Friends

Yesterday’s threats were development of high-density housing, which a dedicated group of Uplands neighbors successfully thwarted by initiative petition. Today’s threats are the invasion of English Ivy, Clematis, Holly, Himalayan Blackberry, and Garlic Mustard. Friends of Springbrook Park is successfully controlling these nonnative plants by its invasive removal programs. The Friends and volunteers work in partnership with the City of Lake Oswego to preserve and protect the park’s natural resources by providing educational activities and events for its users.

The Friends group has returned to working actively in the park. Along with many volunteers, we have been planting native plants, cleaning up downed limbs to reduce fire hazard, removing invasive plants, and spreading gravel on park trails where needed.”

The Vision of Friends of Springbrook Park

The vision of Friends of Springbrook Park is that Springbrook Park be a healthy, protected, natural area. The vision is of:

  • a natural area that is an educational and recreational resource;
  • a watershed and riparian forest working as a sustainable ecological system that supports good water quality; and
  • a productive habitat for native plant and animal communities

The Mission of the Friends of Springbrook Park

The mission of the Friends of Springbrook Park is to promote the conservation, preservation, enhancement, scientific understanding, and appreciation of the waters, wetlands, wildlife (aquatic, avian, and terrestrial), habitats, scenic areas, open spaces, and recreational resources of Springbrook Park through education and volunteer coordination.
