This workshop is part of a series of six energy workshops taking place across Oregon that will help rural communities identify energy savings and energy generation opportunities, and invest in local energy programs and projects.

All of the workshops are co-hosted by Sustainable Northwest, Lake County Resources Initiative, and Wallowa Resources. The Hood River workshop is being developed in collaboration with local leaders who are pursuing investment in clean energy to help create a healthier environment for their community, grow the tax base, and save and keep money in their community.
