American Wetlands Month
Celebrate American Wetlands Month and nearly 25 years of Winterbrook Planning’s work protecting wetlands across Oregon.
At Aurora State Airport, Winterbrook completed a wetland determination to support future development planning. For the Portland Water Bureau’s Bull Run Filtration Facility, our team led wetland delineations, habitat assessments, mitigation planning, and environmental permitting for one of Oregon’s largest infrastructure investments.
These efforts build on a long history of wetlands work throughout the state. American Wetlands Month is a reminder that protecting these ecosystems requires practical solutions, collaboration, and technical expertise. For nearly 25 years, Winterbrook has been proud to help balance environmental stewardship with community needs—and we look forward to continuing that work for years to come.Celebrate American Wetlands Month and nearly 25 years of Winterbrook Planning’s work protecting wetlands across Oregon.
