watershed and community action projects, summer camps
and service

Geographic Area
A watershed is an area of land which drains to the
same body of water, such as a river, lake or slough.
The Columbia Slough is a 60-mile long remnant of lakes,
wetlands and slow-moving channels in the southern floodplain
of the Columbia
River.
The Columbia Slough Watershed includes schools
and communities in the St. John’s area, North
Portland, and parts of Northeast Portland, Parkrose,
Gresham and Fairview. It is bordered by Smith and Bybee
Lakes on the west and Fairview Lake
and the headwaters of Fairview Creek on the east. Slough
School activities take place at field sites and classroom
around the watershed.
Location
Slough School is based out of the Council offices
at the Whitaker Ponds Environmental Learning Center,
at 7040 NE 47th Ave. in Portland, Oregon.
