The mission of UERC is to improve ecological and human health in the Portland/Vancouver metropolitan region by advancing the science and understanding of urban ecosystems and by fostering communication and collaboration among a network of researchers, professionals, other interested groups and our community. UERC does not provide a political or advocacy platform, but rather offers a forum for professionals to exchange and discuss information regarding urban ecology and its application to relevant fields. The major activities of UERC include an annual symposium in January/February, and lunch-and-learn presentations throughout the year. We are building a searchable archive of abstracts from the symposia at https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/uerc/. We also host a listserve mailing list, so please sign up if you'd like to exchange information related to urban ecology in the Portland/Vancouver region.
