- Creek and wetland regeneration at Bald Hill Natural Area, Dr. MLK Jr. Park, Starker Arts Park, and 9 additional sites;
- Shift Together to provide resources and funding to support everyone in our community as we make the transition to energy efficiency and renewable energy;
- Solarize Corvallis to help schools, nonprofits, and businesses make the transition to solar energy;
- No Food Left Behind Corvallis to address the environmental, social, and economic impacts of wasted food;
- …and many more!
As in past years, the Coalition’s Annual Meeting sponsor is First Alternative Natural Foods Co-op, which will provide delicious “happy hour” snacks.
All of the work done by the Coalition’s action teams in 2024 focused on projects that advance environmental quality, social equity, and/or economic vitality. The 12 action teams cover the following areas: Community Inclusion, Economic Vitality, Education, Energy, Food, Health and Human Services, Housing, Land Use, Natural Areas, Transportation, Waste Prevention, and Water.
We look forward to seeing you!
