The Oak Lodge Community Council (OLCC) is the Community Planning Organization (CPO) serving approximately 25,000 residents in the unincorporated area that extends south from Milwaukie and north from Jennings Lodge, between the Willamette River and Oatfield Ridge. CPOs exist to inform residents of neighborhood land use issues and serve as a recognized communication link between citizens, community groups, service districts, and County, State and Federal agencies, and were created in the early 1980′s to satisfy Oregon State Mandate #1 to ensure citizen participation in land use planning. The Oak Lodge Community Council, an entirely volunteer organization, is regarded as the most active, vocal and effective CPO in the County.
Clackamas County Urban Green is an informal community organization that seeks to protect and restore urban ecosystems, and serves as a catalyst for projects that build community social, ecological and shared economic capital. We partner with community organizations, Clackamas County, Metro, and other regional agencies that are genuinely interested in improving the health, vitality and prosperity of our community as we transition to a more sustainable way of conducting ourselves as a society.
