Sauvie Island Center
The Sauvie Island Center serves elementary school youth of North and Northeast Portland by providing hands-on educational field trips at our Sauvie Island location in Howell Territorial Park, managed by Metro. Through our education programs, the Center seeks to increase the food, farm, and environmental literacy of the next generation.
The trips take place on the Sauvie Island Organics farm, and the curriculum includes modules covering Soil Investigations, Plant Parts Investigations, and Wildlife and the Food Chain. In 2009 we have expanded our field trip program to include the “Grow Lunch Garden,” where students plant, tend, harvest and eat fresh vegetables from their own field. The Grow Lunch Garden is designed to further address students’ awareness of food sources and empower them to make healthy food choices for themselves and their families.
This spring we'll have about 350 kids out to our site, and over 70% of them come from Title 1 schools in North Portland. For many of the kids, this is the only field trip like this they will get during the school year. We've had a grant this last year that made the trips free to these schools, and we want to be able to continue to provide these trips during the next school year. We are currently serving approximately 600 children a year, and plan to increase that number to 1,500 children within five years.
