1 Portland, Oregon

2 ● Annual(average) high temp: 63.3 degrees F ● Annual(average) low temp: 45.7 degrees F ● Median Temp: 54.5 degrees F ● Average Snowfall of 4 inches ● Average Precipitation: 35.98 inches Portland, Oregon Climate

3 Topography ● Portland is located at the northern end of Willamette Valley which is a rich and diverse agricultural region ● Tualatin Mountains, Mt. Tabor, Mt. St. Helens ● High ground-water level

4 Biome Factors ● Coniferous Forest o warm summers o cold winters ● Abiotic Factors: o rocky,acidic soil o mild temperatures ● Contains producers such as evergreen trees,shrubs, grass ferns, and moss. ● Some consumers are moose, insects,elk,birds,small rodents, and wolves.

5 Native Animal The Virginia Opossum is a native species to Portland. As times have changed, the opossum has adapted to living in urban and suburban environments. Few natural predators, an absence of hunting, and several other factors contribute to the well being of this species.

6 Native Plant The Red Alder is native along Portland’s coast. The Red Alder is well adapted to Portland’s low elevations and moist climates. The Red Alder is a pioneer species and must maintain dominance of the canopy. If Portland uses the Red Alder’s ability to rapidly grow they could harvest large amounts of its timber and use it for paper and lumber.

7 Our city plan ● Our city all of the roads will be outfitted with solar panels that clear snow in the winter time and harvest the sun’s energy. ● Our city will have bike sharing stations so you get credit for the energy you create while pedaling. This credit will be subtracted from your energy bills. ● Artificial farming buildings will be dispersed throughout the city and will be the main source of food for the citizens. Groves of fruit trees will line the streets. Not only will these trees be a source of food they will also add the aesthetics of the city.

8 Waste ●To dispose of wastes, our city will use composting techniques

9 Transportation Plan ● Bikes that will give points to those who ride them which will then deduct money from their energy bills ● Also, all cars will be hybrid which will be charged with by the reflectors within the roads.

10 Living & Working ● It will be required that the first two floor of all buildings will be convenient stores, which will eliminate the need for people to use energy to travel to stores. Each apartment will have solar panels which will power all of their home appliances. ● Our city will employ its citizens to harvest the fruit from the trees. Others will provide service in the second floor of buildings.

11 Areas for Wildlife Wildlife preserves will be present throughout the city, a safe place for species of all types to live and prosper. Trees are to be planted in every space possible. For every tree cut down, two more must be planted.
