The City of Milwaukie is working on a project to better protect the natural resources that make our town unique and beautiful.

The City already has strong protections in place to preserve the quality of water in the community’s streams and wetland areas. Now the City is broadening those protections to include sensitive wildlife habitat and thereby comply with Metro’s Title 13, the Nature in Neighborhoods initiative.

To do this, the City will amend its code to establish new guidelines for future construction in and around streamside and upland habitats.
