42. A Year in the Long Life of Forest Park

The Buzz -- Beginning on July 12, visitors to the World Forestry Center Discovery Museum, in partnership with the Forest Park Conservancy, will have the opportunity to see 45 stunning images of Forest Park taken by local photographer Bruce MacGregor. The exhibit will be on view through September 27 and is included with museum admission. Covering 5,400 acres and with a history that dates as far back as the Lewis and Clark Expedition, Forest Park has endured fires, logging, and real estate development to become one of the nation’s largest forested city parks. Its complex ecosystem contributes to Portland's clean air and water, providing habitats for more than 170 species of mammals and birds. Thousands of hikers, walkers, runners, and bicycle riders enjoy the 70 miles of trails each year often going too fast to enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells surrounding them. Enter photographer Bruce MacGregor.
