Bioswales are those cool mini wetland garden thingies cut into the edge of many streets in town. They filter storm water and allow it to trickle back down into our aquifers instead of washing into drains and eventually our local waterways.Come help us keep 'em clean and functional!More about City of Portland's Green Streets: https://www.portlandoregon.gov/bes/52501 About Us The Portland Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation’s work is focused keeping it clean upstream through our programs including #DitchTheStrawPDX, Ocean Friendly Restaurants, Green Streets,  Hold On To Your Butt programs and our Blue Water Task Force water quality monitoring program out on the north coast.
