As an approved subscription manager in the Oregon Community Solar Program, we operate within the state-regulated framework to make the benefits of going solar accessible to customers of PGE and Pacific Power. For too long, most people have been sidelined from accessing the benefits of clean solar energy due to factors like renting, cost, or roof limitations. Community solar provides a simple and equitable alternative, allowing anyone with an eligible utility account to choose clean energy with no upfront cost and no sign up fees. With availability to residential and commercial alike – everyone can access solar power and save.

6th Annual Urban Forest Summit:

A Healthy Urban Forest – What You Can Do

Saturday, November 2, 9 am – 12:30 pm

Lake Oswego United Methodist Church

1855 South Shore Blvd, Lake Oswego

You are invited to attend the 6th annual Urban Forest Summit. This is an opportunity to expand your arboreal knowledge, discuss the importance of a healthy, interconnected urban ecological system and share opportunities to maintain and support the health of the urban forest.

This year’s agenda will include an update on the City of Lake Oswego Community and Urban Forestry Plan, information on tree care and maintenance, understanding our urban forest from floor to canopy, and best practices for native plant landscaping. We’ll be exploring how we can care for our urban forest, individually and collectively.

The opening speakers will be Jack Halsey, Executive Director of the OLWC, Jessica Numanoglu, Community Development Director for the City of Lake Oswego, and Scott Altenhoff, Manager of the Urban and Community Forestry Program at the Oregon Department of Forestry. They will be followed by the following panelists: Caitlin Pope Daum, Principal Landscape Architect at Studio Wild, Ian Hunter, founder and owner of Phoenix Habitats, and Leah Puhlman, Master Gardener Oregon State University Extension.

The Urban Forest Summit is presented by the Oswego Lake Watershed Council in partnership with the Lake Oswego Sustainability Network.

Leave the Leaves… and other sustainable gardening ideas for fall

Leave the Leaves:

  • If they fall in garden beds let them stay in place.
  • Place leaves from your walkways and hardscape into your garden beds.
  • If they fall on your lawn use an electric lawn mower to chop them up and let them stay in place. By spring, all of the leaves will disintegrate into a leaf duff, which is just another name for natural compost.

Leave the flowers:

  • Birds will come to eat the seeds.
  • Wait until early spring to cut back your perennials to maximize winter food for birds and small mammals.

Leave the berries and other fruit on shrubs and trees.

Leave small branches and twigs – they provide good food for fungi. They will also disintegrate into the leaf duff.

Event Details

People are deeply concerned about the climate crisis. LOSN offers effective and practical ways for home-owners and renters to move away from fossil fuels that are causing global warming. Our electricity, by law, is becoming clean and renewable from solar, wind, and hydropower.

As your appliances and vehicles are replaced, we encourage you to move away from gasoline and natural gas and begin your electrification journey—electric vehicles and high-efficiency home appliances such as heat pumps for heating and cooling your home, heat pumps for heating water, and induction cooking for your stove. Become more resilient with solar energy and battery storage. These changes will also lower your energy bills and make your home safer, healthier and more comfortable.

Our Lake Oswego Electric Home and Vehicle Fair gets to the ”how” of electrifying.

  • Meet contractors and representatives of organizations who can help you plan your electrification journey and take advantage of a variety of financial incentives. Many contractors will be offering incentives available to fair attendees. Visit our event page for a full list of exhibitors.
  • New this year, every ride in a dealer-owned EV enters you to win one of fifty $25 gift certificates to a Lake Oswego restaurant. You can also talk with dozens of local electric vehicle owners about their EVs.
  • Discover the advantages of electric yard equipment and ditch the gas.
  • Listen to a speaker every half hour starting at 10:30 am on important electrification topics, including financial incentives, how to join a community solar power project, and more. Visit our event page for the schedule of speakers and topics.
  • Keep your energy up with Arrow Coffee and Desserts and pancake and cider samples cooked on induction hot plates by Electrify PDX

Test Drive an EV at the Fair and Enter to Win One of 50 Gift Cards Worth $25

You can also visit with many of the EV owners who have brought their EV to display and discuss at the Fair. Find out what their experience has been.

The number of available EVs is going up while the cost of owning one is going down. Financial incentives on a new EV can run from $10,000 to  $15,000 depending on your income level. Financial incentives for used EVs can be as high as $9000. The operating and maintenance costs typically are 70% less  than a gas car. You will find that owning an EV is financially very attractive.
